San Francisco supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to change the name of Cesar Chavez Street to Las Campesinas, Mission Local reported.
They will take a final vote next week in a process that began earlier this year when Mayor Daniel Lurie formed a working group to rename the street following allegations of sexual assault reported by The New York Times, Mission Local reported. The first vote is a distinct step from the October introduction of the ordinance, when the working group announced the "Las Campesinas" choice and Supervisor Jackie Fielder introduced the legislation. The street name does not change until the board takes that final vote and the measure completes the rest of the city's process.
Mission Local's account of the vote appeared in its Mission Buzz roundup, which also noted other neighborhood business changes that are separate from the street-name decision. Those items are not the subject of this story. The facts established here are the unanimous Tuesday vote, the scheduled final vote next week, and the earlier working-group process that followed the Times reporting.
