A Roadblock for Reagan: Proposal to Rename 16th St. Runs Into Objections

Personally, I don't believe Reagan would like for a street to be named after him in Washington, D.C...

From Spencer S. Hsu of the Washington Post:

A Republican congressman from South Texas has proposed renaming 16th Street NW as Ronald Reagan Boulevard.

Rep. Henry Bonilla, co-chairman of the 2000 and 2004 Republican national conventions, quietly introduced the 106-word resolution before Congress adjourned for summer recess July 28.

As word has spread in the nation's capital, neighborhood Web logs in the overwhelmingly Democratic city have crackled with disbelief, and elected D.C. leaders yesterday joined in protest. The Republican chairman of a key House committee also criticized the idea.
