SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The City of San Antonio released results of a survey that sought residents\u2019 input on a potential name change to a busy street.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the results released Tuesday, people were asked about a new name for C\u00e9sar E. Ch\u00e1vez Boulevard in the wake of recent allegations<\/a> that he sexually abused girls and the co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America union, Dolores Huerta, decades ago.<\/p>\n

According to a city news release, more than 18,000 people participated in the survey from all city districts. The highest participation came from residents in districts 1, 7 and 9.<\/p>\n

Sixty-four percent of survey respondents supported returning the street name to Durango Boulevard. Additionally, a city spokesperson said 79% of respondents who live on C\u00e9sar E. Ch\u00e1vez Boulevard would also like to see the street reverted back to Durango Boulevard. <\/p>\n

Thirty-six percent of people suggested multiple alternative names for the street, the city said. <\/p>\n

The survey was open to the public from March 23 to April 2.<\/p>\n

Following a heated city council debate in 2011, Durango Boulevard was renamed C\u00e9sar E. Ch\u00e1vez Boulevard, a street that stretches from the west to the east sides of San Antonio. According to UTSA records<\/a>, Durango Boulevard in San Antonio dated back to the late 1800s.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, city officials told KSAT more than 300 addresses would be affected by a name change that would cost an estimated $200,000<\/a> to complete. <\/p>\n

The city is also hosting two community listening sessions this week where residents are welcome to provide feedback, questions and comments.<\/p>\n

6-8 p.m. on Wednesday (Jaime\u2019s Place, 1514 W. Commerce St., 78207)<\/p>\n

3-5 p.m. on Saturday (Tony G\u2019s Soul Food, 915 S. Hackberry St., 78210)<\/p>\n
