Fresno begins replacing nearly 200 Cesar Chavez street signs, work to finish next week

FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — Drivers along Cesar Chavez Boulevard in Fresno may notice new street signs going up as the city replaces nearly 200 of them.

The decision was made after allegations of sexual misconduct by American labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez came to light in March.

The City of Fresno Public Works team began replacing the signs, starting at California Avenue and working east.

Crews are restoring signage to Kings Canyon, Ventura, and California Avenue.

The project is expected to be completed by early next week.
