Miami-Dade County Florida
Alternate Street Names
and
Parks .. Plaques ..
Monuments
Cuban & Latin Related Names
(Coral Gables Streets not included)
For
some
time,
the
City
of
Miami, Hialeah, other County municipalities,
Dade County (now Miami-Dade County) and the State of Florida have been
co-designating streets with alternate street names. The
renaming can be one block, two blocks, the entire street, or just an
intersection. Many streets can have multiple alternate street
names. In some cases only one sign is placed on the designated
street, others have signs every block. This is not a new
concept. The Federal Government has been doing this for years on
a much smaller scale.
The
original name of the street remains but another sign is placed over or
under the original name as a co-designated street name. The
County places the signs for the cities which keeps them all
uniform.
(There may be an exception for Coral Gables which has concrete,
ground level street names on most streets.)
Usually the state co-designated roads have an ornate sign which stands
alone,
such as an historic marker. The city or county sometimes incorporates
the state designation in overhead signs.
There is usually only one of these signs, maybe two, on each designated
roadway by the state.
Most
people in the County have no idea who most of these people are that
have streets named after them. This list was sent
to politicians, lawyers, city and county officials and educators and
most had no idea who the people were.
The
local newspapers have written some critical articles concerning some of
these names but have failed to identify all the names. It use to
be simple to get your name on a street, complete a form, pay a fee, pay
for each sign and your name was on a street. Often the City
or County would pick up the fees, but most co-designated streets were
placed
by organizations or groups of individuals.
After one case where a street was named for an individual,
that individual was convicted of drug
trafficking so the rules were tightened. New rules required that
streets
be named for a deceased person. Further rules were later enacted
requiring that the person had to have made a contribution to the county
in order to have a street named for him/her. (In some cases, such as
the
"Latin District", selected names were chosen although they had nothing
to do with the City or County.)
The co-designation does not only occur with Cuban/Latin/Hispanic names
and places.
