The city will unveil the newly dubbed Obama Boulevard during a naming ceremony and street festival on May 4, Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson tweeted Tuesday.
The City Council unanimously approved Wesson’s proposal to rename a 3.7-mile stretch of Rodeo Road, which runs from Jefferson Boulevard to Arlington Avenue, in honor of Obama last August.
The renaming ceremony will be held where Obama Boulevard will intersect with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw neighborhood of South Los Angeles.
