The General Services, Health and Environment Committee voted to advance Resolution 93.81.25 to rename Sharon Avenue in honor of Availa Madir, a neighborhood resident described at the meeting as a longtime community caregiver. Council Member Joyce Love spoke about Madir’s role in the neighborhood: "This lovely woman, Madir, is 1 of your supervisor's grandmother, Corey Johnson. That's his grandmother," Love said, and added that Madir "was like everybody's mother in the neighborhood" who provided meals and shelter to people in need. Love said a dedication event was being planned for Oct. 3 and the time would be adjusted to noon to accommodate scheduling; she noted the renaming still requires full council approval. City staff indicated preparing a sign for the dedication would not be a problem. A motion to move Resolution 93.81.25 out of committee with a favorable recommendation was made and seconded; members approved the motion by voice vote. The committee’s action forwards the naming request for council consideration and allows staff to proceed with logistical planning for the dedication if the council adopts the resolution.
