Six months after its creation, the W RM 150 Renaming Committee presented the Kyle City Council with a recommendation to replace the controversial Rebel Drive street name.
After backlash from its first proposed renaming to Fajita Drive, city council rescinded the decision and created a committee to help increase public input.
“We scheduled a series of meetings,” Committee Chair Vanessa Westbrook said. “They were designed so that the committee could meet and then have time to go and talk with neighbors. We gathered lots of information from a lot of people.”
