A Latino vote that made a difference and is sending chills down the spines of city officials (Latina Lista) - Dallas

Suggestions were made and in a City Council-sponsored poll, voters were led to believe that the suggested name with the most votes would be bestowed on the street. Among the suggestions was that the boulevard be named Cesar Chavez.

Other suggestions were the name of a current Texas Congressional Representative and other names that were more closely associated with the Trinity River project like Riverfront Boulevard and Trinity Lakes Boulevard.

Well, polling was complete, via Internet and telephone, and votes were tallied and by an overwhelming majority (52%) Cesar Chavez was the name of choice. The name that came in a distant second place was Riverfront Boulevard at 18.8%.”*
