Summary
The City of Delray Beach is considering a proposal to rename NW 12th Avenue to NW 12th Avenue / Weatherspoon Way, as detailed in Resolution No. 108-26. This initiative, submitted by the City of Delray Beach, aims to honor Reverend L.C. Weatherspoon, a significant figure in the local Black community, known for his contributions to civil rights, community service, and the establishment of L.C. Weatherspoon Paving in the 1960s. The dual naming seeks to acknowledge his legacy while minimizing disruptions for local residents regarding property documentation. The Planning and Zoning Board will review this recommendation in a meeting on June 15, 2026, before it is presented to the City Commission
