George W. Bush Parkway

This is ONN:
Tipp City, Ohio - A community near Dayton will rename part of a street in honor of President Bush.

He visited Tipp City last month to give a talk about the war on terrorism, and the new "George W. Bush Parkway" designation will cover part of the road taken by his motorcade.

The city council approved the change 6-1 Monday.

Tipp City Councilwoman Vickie Blakey voted no, pointing out that the street already was honoring someone else, former mayor and council member Donn Davis. She says she got mail and heard comments opposing the new designation for Donn Davis Way.

Current Mayor George Lovett says a member of the Davis family told him they have no objections.
Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of naming things after people currently in office...
