President-elect Donald Trump will have an avenue named after him in Miami-Dade after the county commission approved a request by Hialeah to move forward with the recognition. Concretely, Trump's name will be added to Palm Avenue.
Democratic members of the county commission could have blocked the request as they hold seven of the officially nonpartisan 13 seats of the board. However, most declined doing so, paving the way for it to move forward. Four voted in favor of it and only Merleine Bastien, a Haitian American representing areas in northern Miami and nearby communities, voted against the measure.
