"Dight Avenue will be renamed this fall. Residents living on Dight Avenue were recently invited to select among a few options to honor an individual who better reflects our community, which is one that welcomes and values all residents. The name which received the most votes is Cheatham Ave, in honor of Captain John Cheatham, one of the first black firefighters in Minneapolis who was stationed at the first all-black fire station (located at 45th Street & Hiawatha Ave). The formal legislative action will take place this fall and new street signs should be up this winter."
