Cesar Chavez Avenue (Spanish: Avenida César Chávez) is a major east-west thoroughfare in Downtown Los Angeles, the Eastside and East Los Angeles, measuring 6.19 miles (9.96 km) in length. Named in honor of union leader César Chávez, the street was formed in 1994 from Sunset Boulevard between Figueroa and Spring streets, a new portion of roadway, Macy Street between Main Street and Mission Road, and Brooklyn Avenue through Brooklyn Heights, Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles into Monterey Park. Much of the street is double-signed with its former names. ==Approval and sign unveiling== In October 1993, the Los Angeles City Council and the County Board of Supervisors approved the renaming of the stretch of roadway, but agreed to delay the change until 1994 and to put up historic plaques along Brooklyn Avenue to accommodate the opposition,〔"Cesar Chavez Avenue Gets OK After Concessions To Critics Of Site." ''Los Angeles Times''. Oct. 14, 1993. p. B 3.〕 many of whom believed that the new name would cause people to forget the Jewish history of the area. A street sign unveiling ceremony was held on Thursday, March 31, 1994, Chávez's birthday, at the five-points intersection at Indiana Street, in Brooklyn Heights, where the city and county borders meet.〔"EASTSIDE Sign of the Times: Cesar Chavez Avenue."
