SA City Council decides today whether to change the name of Durango Blvd to César Chávez Blvd. The proposed name change would cost the City $100,000.
UPDATE:
The City Council voted 7-4 on Thursday to rename Durango Boulevard in honor of civil rights activist and labor leader César Chávez.
Supporters appeared to outnumber opponents in council chambers and spoke passionately about Chávez and his contributions to their lives. Those against the proposal cited the $100,000 price tag for changing street signs and the burden that will be placed on property owners whose addresses will change.
