The Los Angeles City Council voted to rename Rodeo Road as Obama Boulevard in honor of former President Obama, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced in a tweet Tuesday night.
“We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President @BarackObama when traveling across L.A.,” he said in the tweet.
City Council President Herb Wesson proposed the name change in June 2017.
Not to be confused with the upscale Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Rodeo Road is a 3.5-mile street that runs from near the Culver City border east to Mid-City.

A road has become a 'boulevard'.
One must never name a common street or road after a black leader.
Only 'boulevard' will do.

Chris Rock once said that if you are new in town and want to score some drugs, just ask directions to Martin Luther King Boulevard.
What will you score on Obama Boulevard?....................

Gonna rank right up there with the hundreds of MLK Blvds across the country.

Can’t wait to see what the intersection of Obama and Waters (as in Maxine) will look like in a few years!

“”Not to be confused with the upscale Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills””
That was my first thought - sure relieved at the clarification.
