Two Minnesota lawmakers and a friend of Prince are working on getting a stretch of Highway 5 through Chanhassen renamed after Prince. If this goes through, the 7 mile stretch between 494 and Galpin Drive would be named the Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial Highway.
"Sen. Julia Coleman, R-Chanhassen, and Rep. Greg Boe, R-Chanhassen, are drafting bills," writes the Star Tribune. And a long-time friend of Prince, Mark Webster, who is a security guard at Paisley Park, has a petition on change.org working to get to 5,000 signatures to get this name change to happen. Right now they have over 3,500 and it keeps climbing.
