... needs work.
But why? He's already got the airport. Is there a point to giving him a street?
The result numbers in that poll certainly show you what D.C. is made of. Certainly not American patriots...(/sarcasm)
16th street in DC is now called the Avenue of the Presidents. It shouldnt be changed.
I wouldnt mind seeing Malcolm X Avenue being renamed.
Yes Virginia: there is a Malcolm X Avenue in DC.
why just some stupid street... They should name the one of the longest interstate highway as the Ronald Reagan Highway... Like I-35.
16th street to Ronald Reagan Street? Is that a good thing. Has Ronald Reagan really gone down to that level for a street name? I mean, have Hyundai Blvd or Microsoft Way but Ronald Reagan as 16th street. And, it's not even the 1st street but 16th? I mean, why not rename 32nd street to Ronald Reagan. No no, make like little road, like a smallville road to the Ronald Reagan road.
Good idea 19%
Voted, but I would've preferred a super-highway which cuts through many states rather than a miniscule litte street.
Anyway, Tom Davis has already said that bill is D.O.A. We'll be quite content with Reagan National Airport and the Reagan Trade Center downtown.
I don't remember which street it was they named for him, but I know Clinton has a street named for him in Little Rock
I seem to remember on my last trip to Atlanta, they had a road named for Carter.
Last time I checked, neither of the two have a street named expressly for them in Washington D.C, and there is a reason for this....... They were not from Washington D.C.
Reagan should have a street named after him, however, they should do it somewhere in California, either San Diego or Los Angeles.
Voted for the best.
Personally, I like the fact that, in DC, East-West streets are named after numbers and North-South streets are named after letters and avenues are diagonal and named after states. So I wouldn't like to rename 16th Street after anyone, not even President Reagan.
I would like to see President Reagan on the $20 bill, though.
