New York City Councilwoman Letitia James has come up with another proposal to honor Michael Jackson at the subway station where he shot a music video.
James had asked the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to place a plaque at Brooklyn's Hoyt-Schermerhorn station — or have the late singer's name added to it.
MTA officials rejected the request because plaques are prohibited in stations. The agency is developing guidelines for lucrative naming-rights deals.
Now James says she plans to ask for a station art contest honoring Jackson.
The MTA didn't immediately return a message Tuesday.
Jackson, who died June 25, shot the Martin Scorsese-directed video for "Bad" at the station in 1987.
