Any opportunity we have to recognize and honor indigenous people (and their progeny) is worth taking.

What a wonderful idea. Pls be respectful and do this in time for THIS year's Indigenous Peoples' Day Oct. 9th.

Here's my public comment: Changing a street sign has no material financial or environmental impact. Honoring Billy Frank, Jr. Pays tribute and respect to a great Native American. You can do this. Save the second month's hearing for changing a light bulb at the Port.

I really think renaming Marine Drive to Billy Frank, Jr. Way as soon as possible would be a great way to honor him and all indigenous people.

This would be a welcome shift in these times of questioning around who we wish to publicly honor with monuments.

Please rename Marive View to Billy Frank, Jr. As a way to honor Billy's legacy and his leadership in raising and addressing important cultural, environmental and social issues important to so many Washingtonians! Thank you for your consideration and action on this important matter. You have nothing to lose by doing this.
