Hollywood co-names North 46th Avenue for William D. Horvitz
Summary
The commission unanimously approved renaming North 46th Avenue from Sheridan to Sterling as William D. Horvitz Avenue after local historian Clive Taylor and others recounted the Horvitz family's role in the city’s development.
The City Commission unanimously approved a resolution to co-name North 46th Avenue from Sheridan Street to Sterling Road as William D. Horvitz Avenue, honoring the Horvitz family's historic role in the city’s early development.
Mayor Levy and local historian Clive Taylor recounted how Hollywood Inc. and the Horvitz family helped shape the Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills neighborhoods and preserved the 1923 neighborhood blueprint. Clive Taylor described Bill Horvitz as a civic leader who helped stabilize development during a period of foreclosure and murky titles.
Commissioners expressed support for the centennial-placed honor and moved to approve the measure; the motion carried unanimously.
What’s next: the city will implement the co-naming and include the dedication in centennial commemoration materials.
