This is the kind of irrelevant crap is what Democrat politicians sit around doing.
The cultural cleansing continues.
Perhaps name it after Margaret Sanger? Why do half measures? Go full retard.
They should take him up on that and send him a bill. Then let the taxpayers know that he is a liar when he reneges on his promise.

Thankfully, down in Oklahoma, we still have the Stand Watie Memorial Highway honoring the last Confederate Brigadier General to surrender several months after Lee. Watie was a full blood Cherokee, commanding Cherokees, Choctaws, Seminoles, Osages, and other Confederate troops. The Indian tribes always felt they could get better treatment from the Confederacy.
Cherokees in Oklahoma are still proud of their General! Don’t be surprised to see the Battle Flag flying here.

They’ll name it ‘HIGHWAY to Hell’ or the B.H. Obama Highway to Hell...
What’s next? Eliminating the entire civil war from history lessons? These politicians are getting paid for this???
I’m surprised the Jeff Davis name has lasted this long. Will be interesting to hear their recommendations for renaming.
The Soviet Union changed the names of cities while rewriting history
Deja vu
Damn Yankees.
There’s another thread about the corruption of these same individuals and the fraud in the voter rolls. More registered voters than residents 18 and older.
In the Seminary Valley section of Alexandria there are quite a few streets named after Confederates. Names like Pickett, Owen, Naylor, Latham, Rutland, Mansfield and so on. Maybe they should rename them “People’s Street # 14”, “People’s Street # 15” and so on. Maybe rename Taney Avenue as “Avenue of Revolutionary Consciousness”.
The VA state legislature passed a bill just this year to protect war memorials, including Confederate ones. While it was vetoed by that crook Terry McAuliffe, it still suggests they're probably getting nowhere with that proposal anytime soon.
too funny they let the name of a road influence their feelings to the point of having a vote on it?
I recent went into NYC and my driver was telling me how many bridges etc were being renamed.......stupidest thing I ever heard of to waste time on that and likely confuse people in the area because now it’s known by two names.
Disgusting.
Stupid.
I have lived here 50 years and always thought it kinda weird that they named the road after him.
Going thru the City of Alexandria/Old Town, Rt 1/Jeff Davis Hwy is already called Patrick St. heading North and Henry St. heading south. Rt 1 was until relatively recently pretty ghetto. Now it’s gotten all yuppified.
I still think of Washington St in Alexandria as the main thoroughfare, and know it won’t be long before they vote to remove the Confederate soldier from Washington Street.
“Great. They’ll name it to ML King Highway and turn the major thoroughfare in the city to a ghetto... “
Yeah, want to know what area in a city to avoid? Look for the MLK Blvd! You can bet it will be in the middle of where you don’t want to be. Sad commentary on Martin’s legacy that his name is used to denote the very place he sought to eliminate.
Also avoid any place that has a “Brotherhood Way” in it.
