Overview
- The commission approved the co-designation on a 3–2 vote, with Mayor Edmund Malkoon and Commissioners Richard DeNapoli and Theo Poulopoulos in favor and Randy Strauss and John Graziano opposed.
- The decision followed a packed hearing that stretched past midnight with more than 80 speakers and predominantly critical testimony.
- Town leaders said only a single sign at Seagrape Drive and Commercial Boulevard will carry the added name and that mailing addresses will not change.
- Supporters cited the practice of honoring presidents and noted the street houses the Broward Republican Party headquarters as well as Trump's recent electoral wins in the area.
- The Florida Department of Transportation will design and deliver the new sign at a later date, and opponents say they will continue to challenge the decision.
