The city council utilities committee meeting voted to resurrect the renaming of Harris Street & move it to the full council meeting on Monday, May 16, 2011.
As was indicated in the uproar by the entire city when the issue appeared months ago, there remains grave concerns about the adverse effect on tourist maps, signage, GPS and geographic information systems.
It'll cost MARTA $100k to update signs in P'tree Center station -- the cost of a couple of drivers on a bus route that could be going to any of their council districts!
Please contact all city councilmembers & spread the word! Their contact info, including Facebook profiles, can be found here: http://wp.me/pqfzK-N6

Today, the Atlanta city council members of the utilities committee voted 2 for (C.T. Martin and Aaron Watson) and 2 against (Carla Smith and Yolanda Adrean) and Natalie Archibong abstained. So it will go to the Full Council on 8/15 with "no recommendation".
Also, take a look at Google Maps and note that Harris Street has already been renamed!
