2-15-02 - This day's Council session - Motion - Ridley-Thomas Mover 2002 / Bernson - For over one year, the Eighth District Empowerment Congress has been working aggressively on the "Naming Neighborhoods Project" to identify and appropriately name the unique communities found within its membership area. Frequently, the diverse and dynamic characteristics of the individual neighborhoods are cast aside as an entire area of the City of Los Angeles is deemed "South Central." By properly identifying the existing communities throughout the area, the Empowerment Congress members have sought to instill a feeling of community pride and foster a greater sense of community empowerment.
Beginning with a focus group at the Hebrew Union College in June 2000, Empowerment Congress members have contributed countless hours of dedicated work towards reaching a consensus on neighborhood names and boundaries. Each Neighborhood Development Council within the Empowerment Congress established a Naming Committee to oversee the development and implementation of a community outreach plan to bring together the various stakeholders within each neighborhood. Through extensive research, a meeting with an urban historian, and numerous community meetings and dialogues, the Empowerment Congress has completed the second phase of the "Naming Neighborhoods Project." The ten initial community designations submitted by the Empowerment Congress were formally adopted by the City Council in October 2001 (Council File #01-1874).

6-25-04 - This day's Council session - Motion - Ludlow Mover 2004 / Parks - At a prior City Council meeting the attached Motion (Ridley-Thomas / Reyes) and amending Motion (Ridley-Thomas / Holden) concerning the "Naming Neighborhoods Project" and the official name designation of various bound by certain streets located in Council District Eight were adopted (November 26, 2002, Item 37, Council File: 01-1874). For over a year, the Eight District Empowerment Congress worked on the "Naming Neighborhoods Project" to identify and appropriately name the unique communities found within its membership area.

THEREFORE MOVE that Council AMEND the Motion (Ridley-Thomas/Reyes ) to ADD the area designated as Crenshaw Manor, given that the stakeholders in the area support the subject name designation of the area bound by:
* Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, from Chesapeake Avenue to Crenshaw Boulevard;
* Exposition Boulevard, from Chesapeake Avenue to Crenshaw Boulevard;
* Crenshaw Boulevard, from Exposition Boulevard to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard; and
* Chesapeake Avenue, from Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to Exposition Boulevard.
FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Transportation be directed to:
1. Install, within 90 days, official City of Los Angeles community signs, identify the aforementioned community, in the general vicinity of the above mentioned locations;
2. Remove any existing City of Los Angeles community signs in these areas and place them with the appropriate signs designating the newly adopted boundaries; and
