The Planning and Development Department received a request for an Honorary Street Marker for Dr. L.F. Chaney, Sr. The policies and procedures for Honorary Street Markers were established by City Council Motion 93-1455 as a way for the public to recognize individuals who have contributed significantly to the Houston community through service or other accomplishments.
A summary of Dr. Chaney’s significant contributions to the community has been submitted in support of this request, and includes a letter of support from the district council member. Following review, the Department has determined that the proposed marker is in full compliance with the City’s Honorary Street Marker Policy.
The Planning and Development Department recommends approval of a sign that reads Dr. L.F. Chaney, Sr. The proposed location is the 1000 block of Court Street at Center, directly in front of Demascus Missionary Baptist Church, at 3122 Center Street. The Traffic Division of Houston Public Works will be responsible for the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of the marker.
