Just wanted to thank you for trying to make this a fair and public process.

After the no-process Rosa Parks renaming, and this laughably dishonest Chavez "if you oppose this you're racist" debacle, it's becoming increasingly clear that the Council has decided that North Portland is intended to be the dumping ground for street renames.

Perhaps during this process you could work with the Council to clarify just how many of our streets we can expect to see renamed over the next 10 or so years.

Another option is to work with long range planning to create an overlay zone "SRD" for Street Rename District.

That would add some facade of legitimacy and predictability to these sort of things. The Council could point to the map instead of telling people they hate if they don't want to see their streets renamed.
