Portland sets sight on Campesinos Boulevard to replace Cesar Chavez Blvd
TL;DR Summary
Portland's City Council moved to rename the east-side Cesar Chavez Boulevard to Campesinos Boulevard to honor farmworkers, waiving the city’s usual street-name-change rules; the plan, backed by Latino leaders, has sparked debate between supporters and opponents who prefer keeping or returning to the old name, with final approval expected in coming weeks and signs to be installed within six months.
