Outgoing District 7 Councilmember Treva Reid has introduced proposals to honor her father, former councilmember Larry Reid, by renaming parts of Hegenberger Road and the East Oakland Sports Center.
Larry Reid, who served on the Oakland City Council for nearly 24 years, was instrumental in securing funding for significantly improving East Oakland, including the development of the East Oakland Sports Center.
The renaming initiative reflects a tradition in Oakland of memorializing notable figures; recent examples include honoring Bruce Lee and Tupac Shakur, emphasizing the city’s recognition of impactful residents.
Hegenberger Road, a crucial commercial corridor, was a focus for Larry Reid, who advocated for new businesses and amenities aimed at retaining major league sports and enhancing community infrastructure.
