The West Valley City Council voted unanimously April 22 to adopt Resolution 25-58, adding the commemorative street name 'Whittier Way' to 6000 West in front of Whittier Elementary School.
Representatives of the Whittier Falcons, speaking during public comment, asked the council to honor the school’s 140th anniversary with an honorary street name. "We, the Whittier Falcons, are pleased to once again stand before you...we are once again asking for the council to agree to give the honorary name of Whittier Way to 6000 West," the group said during remarks.

The resolution formalizes the honorary name; the city did not record any changes to the official street address system in the meeting transcript. Next procedural steps for signage and installation were not specified in the discussion.
