[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I agree with changing the name, one negative to consider is that this could be a large expense not just for taxpayers (changing signage), but for businesses (large and small) along the Hwy- changing letterhead, advertising materials, etc.[/quote] Then again, they might appreciate not having the name Jefferson Davis on all of their materials.[/quote] Keeping it "Jeff Davis" is going to be a bigger nuisance more than changing it. It's Route 1. In most of the state, it's called Richmond Highway. In Fairfax, it's called Richmond Highway. Alexandria is looking into changing the name to Richmond Highway as well. Calling it Jeff Davis is a non-conforming address protocol. Within a few years, if it's still Jeff Davis, it will be nothing but confusing to tourists (not that confusing tourists isn't a good idea, but still). [/quote]
