Renaming Cesar E. Chavez Drive

The honored rape crisis center leader urged the council to rename the street, saying survivors come first and accountability gives movements integrity.

A 23-year resident of the street, she opposed the change citing costs, document hassles, and safety needs like speed humps, and noted no resident on the street wants the change.

A veteran and street resident speaking at her first council meeting, she collected 80 signatures against the change and called the $26,000 cost a waste that should go to speed humps and signs.
