San Antonio, TX, August 20, 2026 —
The San Antonio City Council is scheduled to vote on a proposal to revert the name of César E. Chávez Boulevard back to its original designation, Durango Boulevard. The potential renaming comes in the wake of sexual assault allegations that have been made against civil rights activist César E. Chávez.
The initiative to change the boulevard’s name again is projected to incur an estimated cost of approximately $375,000. This figure accounts for the expenses associated with the renaming process, including signage updates and any associated administrative or logistical costs.
The boulevard, located in San Antonio, was previously named Durango Boulevard before being renamed in honor of César E. Chávez. The current consideration to revert the name marks a significant point in the city’s decision-making process regarding its street names and the historical figures they represent.
Details regarding the specific timeline for the vote, the public input process, or further justification for the proposed renaming were not provided in the available information. The council’s decision will be based on the information presented and deliberations during their upcoming session.
