Renaming of Dight Ave to Cheatham Ave
Re: Dight Ave
Speaking of renaming streets, I just noticed today that 13th St. between Nicollet Mall and Marquette Ave. has been renamed Alice Rainville Place. How long have these signs been up? I doubt I would have noticed if the bus driver had not announced the stop as "Alice Rainville Place, formerly 13th St". The automated announcement was still simply 13th St.

Re: Dight Ave
Grey signs below blue? It's common for temporary/ semi-official namings to be added.

No, they were the special type that are used on Nicollet Mall. No secondary name was evident. I think that is the official name, now.

They changed the signs a few months ago.Speaking of renaming streets, I just noticed today that 13th St. between Nicollet Mall and Marquette Ave. has been renamed Alice Rainville Place.

Re: Dight Ave
So Google maps has renamed the avenue to Cheatham Ave but the house address and most of the businesses are still listed as Dight Ave. I would have thought those would have been automatically changed with the street name.
