Marin County supervisors to vote on renaming Sir Francis Drake Boulevard
KTVU s Rob Roth reports.
SAN ANSELMO, Calif. - The Marin County Board of Supervisors and the San Anselmo Town Council will vote on Tuesday whether to change the name of a major roadway.
Sir Francis Drake Boulevard is a 43-mile road that cuts through five jurisdictions in Marin.
The Fairfax Town Council voted last week to change the name of the section that runs through its community, while the towns of Ross and Larkspur have voted to keep the name. Having this Sir Francis Drake name change has been an important vehicle towards getting more of our community members to stop and think about race, inequality, and racism, said Marin Supervisor Katie Rice.
