Tuesday morning the Common Council unanimously approved renaming a downtown street to match its north side name.
N. Old World Third Street will become N. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, eliminating a 1984 political compromise that saw N. 3rd St. split into two different names instead of being entirely named for the civil rights leader.
The compromise was brokered back then to appease merchants on the street, including Usinger’s Famous Sausage, who objected to the name change and said it would negatively impact tourism.
