The thing that bothers me about this is that we already have a street named Cesar Chavez Way. Drive down W. Commerce past downtown near Sabinas and Cibolo. There's a nice little sign that renames the area "Cesar Chavez." Didn't make a damn difference. We still call it Commerce...not Cesar Chavez Way.
I understand the cost of it. I understand the changing of business cards. I understand the city didn't follow its own procedures. I get the voting lines have been drawn. Let's just drop it. It failed. We honor him with a March. Let's move on.
They are Renaming the street after a Boxer? he's not even from san antonio. I am against the name change its a slap and a spit to every native here. why must evey city have a Cesar Chavez, and MLK streets? I know they were both historic figures but lets remember them where they made their respective impact.
Perhaps, we should just change all the streets that matter to 1-10,000 and tree names like oak, mesquite(oops, is that spanish?). After it's all said and done and in a few years from now, hardly anybody will care. All the natives will call it Durango and the transplants won't know what to do because their GPS won't be updated. And this is a prime example of the problem with term limits
Having a street named after him in his honor is nice, but if you studied anything about him and what he stood for, he probably wouldn't be too happy with having a street named after him that would cost so much and really benefit no one. That wasn't what he stood for.
WTF did Cesar Chavez have to do with San Antonio? We are not in California nor do we have a farming history. Changing Durango is just utter BS that looks like pandering.
oh, it more than looks like pandering.. and they didn't even try to clean it up either. Just straight up pandering. Unfortunately, that works for your average uninformed/doesn't care citizen.

Pandering to whom? Its being pushed by Hispanics, so if hispanics are pushing the change, and voting for the change...are they "pandering" to themselves?
What does Durrango Mx have to do with San Antonio, tx? I can care less if Durrango is changed, but seems lots of opposition is just because its Hispanics making the push...
