Chavez&#039; son said it best: &quot;If it&#039;s just the street signs and holidays, that&#039;s nice, it&#039;s how you honor people; but it&#039;s got to be more,&quot; Paul Chavez said. &quot;If you have an educational component, then it would represent who he was and (then) I could see (my father) say, &#039;Yes, let&#039;s do the street renaming.&#039;&quot; Source: <a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2009/05/chavez_would_take_high_road_on.html" target="_blank">http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2009...</a> The renaming effort is obviously an easy way for the politicians involved to garner support, without having to actually do much. Something more meaningful would have been improving/building and/or dedicating a road, or library, or school, in an area with a significant Latino population, such as the areas east of 82nd. Which of course, the City already constantly neglects in favor of projects in close-in Portland, and I&#039;m sure will continue to.
