I've lived in Barton Hills for the last 10 years and figured this was coming, especially since the street signs were vandalized last year. These signs showed up in the neighborhood this week- public hearing scheduled for April 26th.

 

A year or so ago in the neighborhood newsletter there was an article about the background of why the street has that name. According to the article it was a common path soldiers took East to join fighting in the Civil War... allegedly, I haven't verified that myself.

 

Anyway, they should probably just rename Melridge and REL to continue Bluebonnet from S. Lamar to Barton Springs a la Kinney, or name it after a local musician or something.

 

I'm curious to see if it turns into a shit show or not.

 

EDIT- looks like Tapa prefers to display the pic sideways... good times.56aae8b982a8e8911ace92d32376fec5.jpg

I’m actually pro changing the name. That being said, if someone had a sense a humor, they should propose changing to “Whitewash”

I hear you; I'm not against it. It has always seemed a bit out of place to me. I'm down with whatever.

 

Shaggy Bevo Memorial Blvd.

 

Meh, that whole area of roads got worse when they put the speed humps on Rabb Rd. Of course 16 and 17 year old me was part of the reason for those, so I guess I can't really blame anyone else.

The name change is long overdue.

I don't care what they rename the road as, but I damn sure want to see that little grove where the sculpture garden is renamed the Nathan Bedford Forest.

This would be hilarious. And being near the Springs and creek it would have a perfectly justifiable meaning as well

Geddy Lee Lane or Lee Iacocca Bvld.

Jimmie Lee Vaughan Road

Interestingly enough, that's actually his Dad's name, which I suppose he uses in tribute.

They should name it after one of the Tejanos who took part in the Texas Revolution.

This is where I was going with my response

Maybe they should name it after somebody else named Lee. Then the people who regularly use that street who just call it "Lee" won't have to get that out of their head and learn a whole new name.


Bruce Lee would be a kick ass name for a street.

Good idea. Name it after a Texan.

Shaggybevo Blvd.

 

Long live Shaggybevo.

Only if you drive on the left side.

Vince Young Road.

Don Baylor Road works. VY is the greatest but he needs a street in Houston named after him.

 

Wait, then it will be called Baylor Road. Sorry, Don.

 

Ben Crenshaw Road.

 

Night Train Lane. There. That's perfect.

Mofo Drive.

In reality it looks like it's going to be named after Azie Taylor Morton.

Still, I think it's obvious that there needs to be a Night Train Lane in Austin. Every decade or so I have a good idea, so I guess I was due after the Greg Davis Is Not Our Standard slogan for the airplane banner.

Willie Wells should get dibs over Don Baylor but Night Train Lane is great work.

Why shouldn't he have a street named after him in all 3?
