Subject: Street Designation - Pope John Paul II
Stephanie —
Hope all is well. I am writing to discuss the possibility of naming a street in honor of the late Pope
John Paul II. We're expecting former Polish President Lech Walesa to be in Miami the week of
February 7th, and we would like to have the Mayor to make this announcement alongside
President Walesa during his visit: there is a strong connection between the Solidarity Movement
that Walesa led in Poland during the late 70s and 80s against Soviet occupation and the late
Pope, who was not only Polish, but also took a strong stand Soviet Communism.
Please let us know what the best way to proceed with this request is and what suggestions you
have as we move forward. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call.
Thank you,
JMP
