Honoring Obama With Wabash Avenue Sign
Description
Alderman Brendan Reilly is proposing a bold tribute: an honorary street sign designating a stretch of Wabash Avenue in front of Trump Tower as “Barack Hussain Obama Way,” timed just before the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center. This affordable, symbolic gesture avoids the costly and bureaucratic hurdles of a full street renaming, and even breaks the usual rule that honorary signs are reserved for deceased individuals. The proposal, now before the City Council’s transportation committee, seeks to visibly honor Obama’s legacy — but whether it’ll get final approval remains to be seen.
