Committee forwards Marvin Smith Way ordinance to full council
Summary
Council Member Walsh introduced an ordinance to rename Central Avenue at Liberty as Marvin Smith Way. The Climate, Environment and Infrastructure Committee voted to forward the ordinance to full council for consideration.
Council Member Walsh introduced an ordinance before the Climate, Environment and Infrastructure Committee to rename Central Avenue at Liberty as Marvin Smith Way in honor of Marvin Smith, known locally for operating Ollie's Trolleys in the West End since 1993.
Walsh said the ordinance text notes Marvin Smith's community role and referenced a Hamilton County recognition: "Hamilton County declared Marvin Smith Day on 03/09/2023," and the West End Community Council Executive Board has voted in favor, Walsh said.
Chairwoman Council Member Mika Owens moved the item forward. The committee did not take a final vote on the renaming; the ordinance was referred to full council for final consideration.
No additional materials or conditions were recorded at the meeting. The committee adjourned after handling the item.
