Ald. David Moore speaks during a December meeting on renaming Lake Shore Drive.

After months of listening to advocates urge the change, aldermen on Thursday will consider renaming the outer portion of Lake Shore Drive after Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable, the city’s first non-Indigenous permanent resident.

The City Council’s Committee on Transportation and Public Way is set during its 1 p.m. meeting to take up the ordinance (SO2019-7918), which is sponsored by Ald. David Moore (17) and backed by groups including the Black Heroes Matter coalition.
