Council approves resolution to name ring road for Dr. Barbara Shannon Bannister
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution R2026‑07 to name the ring road around Aurora Municipal Center for Dr. Barbara Shannon Bannister and scheduled a street‑naming ceremony for noon the next day.
Aurora City Council unanimously adopted Resolution R2026‑07 on Feb. 9, 2026, naming the ring road around Aurora Municipal Center in honor of Dr. Barbara Shannon Bannister.
Maya Wheeler spoke in support of the resolution, recounting Dr. Bannister's service on the Aurora Human Relations Commission, co‑founding a federally qualified health center and work advancing civil‑rights and community health in Aurora and the Denver metro area. The council accepted a friendly amendment to insert the name of a council member into a whereas clause crediting prior collaboration.
Council members noted Dr. Bannister's long public‑service career and invited the public to a street‑naming ceremony scheduled for noon the following day.
Next steps: the public ceremony and the clerk's formal recording of the resolution complete the action.
