The Town of Palm Beach Council Members voted Tuesday morning on a resolution that would rename a 4-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard that runs from Palm Beach International Airport to the president's home at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

The measure passed unanimously by a vote of 5-0.

Back in July, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners voted on the same resolution and it passed unanimously by a vote of 7-0.

Legislation killed along Southern Boulevard on Nov. 21, 2024.

The names are ceremonial, which means postal addresses and emergency-response systems will continue to use Southern Boulevard.
