Some streets in Alton Park will soon get secondary names honoring residents who left their mark on the neighborhood.
Chattanooga City Council member Raquetta Dotley of East Lake said residents Milton L. Jackson Sr., Florence High and Erma R. Choice all made great impacts on the South Chattanooga and Alton Park communities.
“So as the community continues to grow and evolve, we want to make sure we have that legacy there,” Dotley said at a council meeting Tuesday evening.
Council members Tuesday unanimously approved adding signage on Central Avenue between East 38th Street and Workman Road, designating that portion of the road as “Milton L. Jackson, Sr. Avenue.”
Another sign will designate part of West 45th Street, between Central and Oakland avenues, as “Florence High Avenue.”
