Why This Vote Matters

The council approved renaming the portion of Western Drive north of Interstate 580 to Stenmark Drive, with all present members supporting the change except McLaughlin, who abstained. Residents and businesses on this stretch of road will need to update their addresses with the postal service, banks, and other organizations. The council noted the name change could be reconsidered for the Point Molate area, suggesting this may not be the final word on street naming in that neighborhood. The city has not explained who Stenmark is or why this particular name was chosen for the street.
