President Tim Foster officially added his name to Levi Lucero’s petition to change North Avenue’s name to University Boulevard. Lucero is a local citizen and member of Grand Junction’s North Avenue Owner’s Association who believes renaming North will reflect the university’s central identity.

“I share your belief that updating the name of the street will not only reflect the important role CMU plays in our valley,” Foster said in a letter to Lucero, “it could help spur a much needed revitalization of the corridor.”

In addition, ASG Director of External Affairs Mackenzie Eikamp has drafted a resolution to show the student body’s support of the name change. The resolution will be debated and voted on by ASG Wednesday.

Lucero will be on campus Tuesday through Thursday to collect additional student signatures.
