During a recent government meeting, city officials discussed recommendations from the Convention District Bureau and the Main Street Advisory Board regarding the official naming of seven downtown alleys. This initiative stems from a previous directive to explore naming multiple alleys after films, reflecting the city's rich cinematic history.

Rebecca Evada, the director of destination services, clarified that while there is no formal process for naming alleys, the council can approve names through resolutions. The discussion highlighted that several alleys, including Kissing Alley and Jack's Alley, have been informally referred to but lack official designations.

The committee proposed naming two alleys: Music Alley and Imagine Alley, the latter recognized for its murals and artistic significance. However, some council members expressed disappointment over the existence of unnamed alleys, emphasizing the need to match potential names with the list of movies associated with the area.

The committee's approach focused on naming alleys after films with iconic scenes filmed in those locations, aiming to create a recognizable connection for residents and visitors. The council is expected to formalize the recommendations in an upcoming resolution, while discussions continue on how to address the remaining unnamed alleys and gather community input for future naming initiatives.
