Fresno councilmembers Annalisa Perea, Mike Karbassi, Nelson Esparza and Miguel Arias have confirmed they plan to restore the original names of roadways currently designated as César Chávez Boulevard.
The proposal will be introduced during a special council meeting on Thursday at Fresno City Hall.
This comes after recent reports have raised serious allegations about Chavez, accusing the late labor leader and civil rights activist of sexually abusing women, including minors, and fellow leader Dolores Huerta, who came forward to say the repeated sexual assaults led to pregnancies and multiple children.
Perea, Karbassi and Esparza say their proposal, if approved, would return the original street names, which city officials say remain in storage.
Arias was one of the most vocal proponents of the original renaming, which created a single, continuous Cesar Chavez Boulevard stretching just over 10 miles through the heart of Fresno and connecting West Fresno with downtown.
