INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM

and Member of the City Commission
SUBJECT : CODESIGNATION of SW 21 Avenue
from SW 6 Street to SW 8 Street

FROM : Dona d H. Warshaw REFERENCES

ENCLOSURES:
TION
The City of Miami Street Codesignation Committee recommends that the City of
Miami Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the codesignation of
SW 21 Avenue from SW 6 Street to SW 8 Street as "Pinar Del Rio Way".
BACKGROUND
Many Cuban immigrants who now make Miami their home, once lived in Pinar Del
Rio in the island of Cuba. While a small province of Cuba, Pinar Del Rio has made
an indelible mark on the City of Miami by the contributions of the "pinarenos" to
the City of Miami. Those immigrants now wish to memorialize their homeland
and pass on their pride and memories to future generations of Cuban Americans.
