Urban Hollywood 411 reports: Former President Barack Obama will soon have his name permanently etched on a Los Angeles street.
After months of planning and debate, the city council voted 15-0 Tuesday to change the name of Rodeo Road to Obama Boulevard.
“We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President @BarackObama when traveling across L.A.,” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted Tuesday night.
City Council President Herb Wesson proposed the name change last year. At the time, he noted that Obama held a campaign rally on Rodeo Road, when he was running for president.
Not to be confused with Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Rodeo Road runs through parts of L.A.

Next streets to be renamed to: Lenin parkway, Pol Pot square, Mussolini avenue.
Obama Boulevard should be a long dark alley which leads to nowhere. That would be more appropriate.

Los Angeles IS in California, the most liberal and lawless state where irresponsibility and terrorism run the state.
I’m glad the local taxpayers who will be funding it, are pleased with this.
I think it’s a disgrace that the Mayor stepped over Rodney King, a true local hero, and is honoring an interloper instead.
