Thanks for holding up on this issue. Years ago my father visited from Calif.,just after Union Ave. was renamed, and had a hard time finding my house. He lived in Portland in the 40's & 50s', and was sure he would not have any problems find it.

This renameing is very confusing to visitors with maps made prior to the change or who used to live here and are sure they know thier way around.

Who has to pay for the new street signs? Why should businesses and residents have to pay to change thier stationary, busniness cards and other items? Who is going to pay for them to contact family and business assc. of the changes?

Unless it is those who want the change to be made, the change should not be made.

Please respond if you think I am wrong about this.

Thank You for serving us and our city.
