- This is brilliant! Truly a great tribute to the Dallas native icon.
- Stevie is and was a better ambassador for Dallas, and Texas than any of the other proposed recipients of this honor.
- The Time Is Now
- Let's name this after a TEXAN, not someone who already has streets named after him in other cities/states. Vaughn is also better than any generic Trinity or water-based name.
- An American musical icon who is revered wordwide. He brought Texas' musical tradition to the attention of the world. Stevie Ray Vaughn changed the course of musical culture worldwide and for generations to come. His life was not one of a political activist but instead dedicated to cultural awakening and the unification that music offers to all races and creeds around the world.
- why name it after a California guy?
- A true hero, of music and of Dallas. Please honor this man by changing the street to his name.
- The Pride Of Texas "SRV"
- It's time that we honor some of our local legends - let's start with Stevie Ray Vaughan.
- Whatever can be done to acknowledge this Son of Texas would be of great advantage to everyone who was touched by his life. Having been raised by a Texas Mother, and married for over 25 years now to a Texas Woman, I can personally attest to the fact that yours is a proud tradition of a People and a State that stood against all opposition and gained victory in the end. A man who went from middle class, old fashioned rearing as a child, and rose up through sweat and a life lived life hard, following his dream and becoming a World Class Musician and Songwriter with fans as loyal as they come. Stevie climbed so high he lost his balance and fell. Then he fought his way to his feet and stayed there, and helped others do the same. The legacy of Stevie Ray Vaughan is testament to the Spirit of Texas and America herself!
