ORDINANCE

 

 

WHEREAS, Chairman Carrie M. Austin has recently been focusing on addressing health challenges; and

 

WHEREAS, These health challenges precluded her from focusing, on the Honorary Street Name Designation Ordinance, introduced November 16, 2016, and passed February 16, 2017, which set forth new requirements and restrictions for such honorary designations; and

 

WHEREAS, Alderman Austin had been planning to introduce an honorary street designation ordinance paying tribute to an important figure in the community; and

 

WHEREAS, But for her health distraction, she would have introduced her ordinance in a timely fashion; and

 

WHEREAS, While her honorary designation is unquestionably well-deserved, a technicality precludes its consideration under the new ordinance; and

 

WHEREAS, It is appropriate in this situation, in light of these unique, limited circumstances to consider an honorary sign for Alderman Austin's living constituent; now, therefore,

 

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:

 

SECTION 1. The Commissioner of Transportation shall take the necessary action for standardization of South Malta Street, from West 102nd Street to West 103rd Street (10200 to 10259 South Malta Street) as "Dr. Lorraine R. Broyls Way".

 

SECTION 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and publication.

Carrie M. Austin Alderman, 34th Ward
