Dear Dave & Mark: I understand Mayor Wu is proposing a change of the name of Glendora Ave to Maxon to recognize our first city
Mayor.... Please inform the city council I am strongly against this name change. Glendora Ave extends well into La Puente where the
Glendora Ave/Hacienda Blvd. split occurs. There are hundreds of address that will be impacted by this changes along with great
confusion. On the reach from 1-10 to West Covina Parkway is blessed with over 30 property owners and over 60 business' that will be
negatively impacted with an address change along with over 400 units at the Colony who enjoy a Glendora Ave address .... I have had a
business on Glendora Ave for over 10 years and request not to re -brand my long standing address. All of this is second to the historical
precedence of the street.
If the City really wants to engage in recognition of our first Mayor I suggest it consult with the Historical Society to make
recommendations of an appropriate street that will have minimum impact. For example, Lakes Drive would impact few and could allow
a re -branding of the commercial area that is in great need of proper branding.
Please, do not pursue the proposed approach....
Please provide this message as testimony on this item. Respectfully, YT/VR..... Drexel L. Smith
