 |  St. Louis alderman wants to rename street after Barack Obama.
Isn't this a little too soon? Alderman wants Delmar named "Barack Obama Boulevard" | ksdk.com | St. Louis, MO KSDK -- A St. Louis alderman wants a stretch of Delmar Boulevard named for President-elect Barack Obama. Alderman Kacie Starr Triplett of the city's 6th Ward plans to introduce legislation Friday that would honorarily designate Delmar Boulevard as "Barack Obama Boulevard." The stretch to be renamed runs from Tucker Boulevard to the city's western edge. In a press release, Triplett called the naming an "excellent opportunity to acknowledge one of our nation's truly transformational leaders." She added, "His words united people of every race, religion and background. It is my hope that this symbolic act in St. Louis will be an important step toward fostering that same unity and partnership in our great city." Triplett said four other city aldermen have signed on as co-sponsors of the legislation. |
