   Comments: Three is no reason to change the name of this street. The decision should be in the hands of the people who live there. I live in SE Portland but I sympathize with my N neighbors.

   Comments: The street has much historic signifcance under the name Interstate ... don't trample on the culture of earlier immigrants to satisfy the latest immigrants.

   Comments: I fail to see how renaming a street benefits anyone. It seems rather childish to me, except maybe from a political point of view.

    Comments: While the Hispanic culture is obviously very proud of Cesar Chavez's contributions, I strongly believe that Interstate is representative of a much larger number of cultures and people who have lived and worked to make Portland the cultural mix that it is. I object to this name change.

    Comments: Naming a community center for Cesar Chavez would be a better choice to really honor this civil rights leader. Interstate is a historic name, which reflects its role as Portland's early inter-state highway to Washington state.

    Comments: If we must rename a street for reasons of "political correctness," then let's name it for my father, a Pole, who perished at Auschwitz.t

    Comments: Poilish people contributed to this country earlier and more than Hispanics have. If you want to rename a street running through a Polish neighborhood after Tadeusz Kosciuszko or Stanislaw Poniatowski or Ignac Paderewski or Karol Wojtyla, great -- but we do not demand it. But cease insulting us and do not shove Hispanization down our throats. Leave Interstate alone!

    Comments: I agree that the name should remain or if changed, changed to honor the Polish community that has been so long a part of Interstate Ave surrounding St. Stanislaus Church. Please honor Mr. Chavez in some other way, not renaming Interstate Avenue.

    Comments: I strongly disagree with the renaming of Interstate Ave to Cesar Chavez Blvd. This renaming is very disrespectful and erases the image of a multi-cultural neighborhood to one of just Latino decent. I am Polish, my Polish church is on Interstate Ave, and the Polish Hall is on Interstate Ave. There are several other cultural groups living on and near Interstate Ave. Please do not change this by creating a false impression that Interstate Ave was built for and by the Lation community by renaming it to Cesar Chavez Blvd. Do not rename Interstate Ave. Thank you.
