Mexico City Council deciding on whether to change name of Garfield Park to Tyronn Lue Park

Posted

The Council Chambers of the Mexico City Hall was packed full of people tonight (Monday) during a public hearing to consider renaming Grafield Park to Tyronn Lue Park.

Mexico resident Dan Erdel requested the park board take up the matter several month ago on June 27th. On July 11th the park board met and after a lot of discussion a unanimous decision was reached by members to recommend the name change to the Mexico City Council.

Mike Kulas, Chairman of the City of Mexico Parks Board spoke to the Mexico City Council on Monday during the public hearing and said "Mr. Lue has strong ties and service to the Mexico community and we unanimously as a park board recommend to the City Council to consider the name change proposal.

Mexico resident Art Bradshaw presented Mayor Chris Miller with a petition that had 200 signatures on it in favor of the name change.

Mexico resident Brent Sadler spoke at the public hearing and had this to say about Tyronn Lue. "He is real and 100% committed to the youth in the community."

The Mexico City Council will make a decision on the name change at the next Mexico City Council meeting set for Monday, October 24th.
