Lee Highway is being renamed in order to realize the years-long grassroots community effort to create a welcoming Main Street by removing the word "Highway"and to begin to reconcile the painful racial history many in our community experienced by removing the name "Lee."
On December 9, 2020, the Working Group On Renaming Lee Highway selected its top choice and four alternatives for Lee Highway's new name. The Working Group’s preferred name is Mildred & Richard Loving Avenue, honoring the couple who fought for marriage equality for interracial couples.
