Committee recommends honorary street name Pastello Way on stretch of Laclede Avenue near SLU
Summary
The Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee recommended passage of board bill 20 to assign an honorary name, Pastello Way, to a stretch of Laclede Avenue that runs from Vandebilda to Grand Boulevard adjacent to Saint Louis University.
The Public Infrastructure and Utilities Committee met May 28 and recommended approval of board bill 20, an ordinance to add an honorary street name for a portion of Laclede Avenue near Saint Louis University.
What the bill does: Board bill 20 authorizes an honorary designation — Pastello Way — to begin at the intersection of Laclede Avenue and Vandebilda Avenue and run east on Laclede Avenue to the intersection of Laclede and Grand Boulevard. Saint Louis University provided a letter of support and owns much of the property along that stretch; the honorary naming does not change official addresses or map designations.
Why it matters: The measure recognizes the service of Dr. and Mrs. Pastello at Saint Louis University. Committee members praised the gesture and several asked to be added as co-sponsors.
Vote and procedure: Committee members supported the so-called honorary designation during committee and moved a do-pass recommendation; the clerk recorded the motion and the committee advanced the bill.
Ending: The committee forwarded the honorary street-name ordinance for consideration by the full board.
