Park naming bill
We reported earlier that the LeDroit Park Civic Association voted to request that the city christen our new park The Park at LeDroit. In December our councilmember, Jim Graham (D – Ward 1), introduced a bill to make it official. The bill went nowhere and since the council session ended just a few weeks later, the bill had to be reintroduced per council rules.
The Committee of the Whole will eventually hold a hearing and vote on the naming bill. Since the name is not controversial we expect it to pass easily, especially since the name has the imprimatur of the LeDroit Park Civic Association.
We hope the bill passes in time for the park opening in April.
i think it’s absolutely criminal that the park is not being named after theresa f. brown.
the neighborhood wouldn’t exist as it does today without her.
