A street in Los Angeles will be renamed Obama Boulevard.
The City Council voted Tuesday to rename Rodeo Road in honor of former President Barack Obama.
The change was proposed by council President Herb Wesson, who noted that Obama held a presidential campaign rally at a site along the street in 2007.
Other streets running through Wesson’s council district are named after former U.S. presidents. They include Washington, Adams and Jefferson boulevards.

Washington, Adams and Jefferson are all dead. Kein Yehi Ratzon.
Washington and Jefferson owned slaves.
I believe that you will only be allowed to make a left turn into it and the street will be a dead end

So you and obama will live forever?
It NEVER occured to me that those streets were named after US presidents. I always just assumed that those busy streets were named after the most common names found in the predominantly black area of southwest los angeles.
