FAIRFAX, VA: "Fairfax City Council voted Tuesday evening to change 14 city street names that detailed the racist origins of some of the city's streets and neighborhoods named after Confederate figures. In May, a coalition of neighbors was pushing to see these street names they found offensive changed to be more inclusive. Some residents have different opinions and believe that these street signs shouldn't be removed as these names are symbols that represent the area's history.

“It doesn't affect me, it's just the name of the road that I lived on for 20-plus years," said longtime Mosby Woods resident Gabe Stolle. "I can see how it may affect some people and you know I'm happy to change if it's affecting enough people, but it really doesn't bother me that much."

The new names for the streets haven't been released yet, but the council moved to direct staff to begin public engagement and selection process for the streets that were approved to be changed."
