WORCESTER – The name of a street in Worcester now stands in honor of Worcester Police Officer Enmanuel Familia.

Skyline Drive, which runs from Belmont Street into Green Hill Park and connects to Green Hill Parkway, is now Officer Manny Familia Way.

Familia died while in the line of duty on June 4 during a rescue attempt of a 14-year-old boy in distress in Green Hill Pond.

The formal dedication of the street is scheduled for June 4, on the one-year anniversary of Familia’s death.
