Where's the push to get a JFK Blvd? Or a Mark Hatfield Dr?

I know.... how about a Jesus Christ Avenue? Where's the uproar from the Christians?

Seriously, if the Latino community wants to honor Chesar Chavez by naming something after him, fine. But there are rules governing the renaming of city streets, put in place after Front was renamed to Naito. It's not just a matter of changing a few street signs. There are real costs imposed on any business or residence located on the street. At the very least, follow the rules. Oh yeah, and don't piss off the neighborhood where you want to rename the street. Not a great way to gain support for your cause (Oops... too late).
