Kansas City Votes To Remove Martin Luther King's Name From Street

Kansas City residents voted to revert the name of a 10-mile thoroughfare from Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Blvd back to its original name, Paseo Blvd. The decision came less than a year after the initial renaming, with the group Save the Paseo leading the charge, citing the historical significance of the Paseo name. The community objected to the City Council's decision to bypass a rule requiring two-thirds resident approval for name changes. Mayor Quinton Lucas emphasized the importance of inclusive legislative processes and community consensus.
