Commissions in Miami-Dade County, Florida, voted in favor of a resolution approving a measure by the city of Hialeah to add President-elect Donald Trump‘s name to Palm Avenue.
County commissioners voted 9-1 to approve the city measure to co-designate the four-mile stretch of Palm Avenue in Hialeah as President Donald J. Trump Avenue. Hialeah city officials unanimously approved the measure last year, and Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo unveiled a street sign with the new name during a Trump rally in the city in November 2023.
District 6 Commissioner Kevin Cabrera celebrated the ratification of the action, saying that adding the president-elect’s name to the street honors his legacy in South Florida.
