West Hollywood City Hall appears unconvinced that the gay mecca should name a street after movie star and AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor, according to WeHo News.
The online newspaper reports that none of the City Council offices "reported the 'call' from residents to change a street name. Instead, one council office suggested the chances of renaming a street stood somewhere between nil and none."
Michelle Rex, the interim deputy for City Councilman John D'Amico, also appears to back off comments she made to L.A. Weekly earlier in the week.
In a March 29 email to the LA Weekly, Rex wrote: "A number of residents have called and written City Hall suggesting that the city name a street after Elizabeth Taylor, but to the best of my knowledge there hasn't been any formal discussion of that."
West Hollywood City Council members, who include D'Amico, John Duran, John Heilman, Abbe Land, and Jeff Prang (the four men are gay), often portray themselves on the cutting edge of issues and open to any kind of community input.
An anonymous deputy for one City Council member told WeHo News: "Renaming a street... can be a cost for residents/business. Maybe renaming an intersection by placing a sign."
