Impact analysis
The name could revert to Union Road using old signs already in storage, keeping costs low; the park's Prop 68 grant won't be lost as long as the grantor is notified.
Residents who participated in the naming process and park users.
Residents like Samuel Ramos who see the renaming as erasing farmworker and Chicano history, plus neighbors on the street who will face address, tax, and insurance changes.

City Council Meeting
Community input picked Si Se Puede Park and Camino Campesino for the sites formerly honoring Cesar Chavez.
City Council Meeting
The council erased three earlier decisions naming a park and a stretch of Union Road after Cesar Chavez. A new name for each will come from community outreach under a fresh naming policy that bars individual names.
City Council - Special Meeting
Following recent allegations against Cesar Chavez, the council weighed removing his name from a city roadway and a planned park near Fire Station 2. Most speakers favored renaming — several for Dolores Huerta — while others warned against erasing farmworker history. No vote was taken; the renaming comes back on a future agenda, with options including reverting to Union Road, naming it for Dolores Huerta or 'Avenida Comunidad,' or a ballot measure.
