PROPOSED NAMING OF THE NEW DISTRICT 6 DESTINATION PARK TO LUIS GOMEZ PARK PARCEL LOCATED ADJACENT TO 5800 HISTORIC OLD HWY 90

 

The City of San Antonio will conduct a public hearing to name the New District 6 Destination Park on Wednesday November 6, 2024 as required by Article XVI of Chapter 6 of the City Code. Comments, oral or written, concerning the naming of park from all interested citizens will be considered.

Written comments (up to 300 words maximum) may be submitted via email by Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. on November 5, 2024, to the Committee liaison: [email protected]. These comments will be given to the committee. Please include your full name and home or work address.

Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda has submitted a recommendation that the Old Hwy 90 Park be named the Luis Gomez Park. Mr. Luis Gomez is a lifelong resident of the Edgewood community, where the new destination park will be located. He is a pillar of the Edgewood community-a member of the Edgewood ISD Board of Trustees, District 6 appointee to the CoSA Zoning Board of Adjustments and District 6 appointee to the City Redistricting Committee.

His involvement with community advancement and civil rights goes back to the 1968 Edgewood walkout, when he and a group of Edgewood high school seniors staged a walkout to highlight the conditions and discrimination in their school. The historic walkout prompted generational change in the state educational system.

He is also a member of the generation of Edgewood Vietnam veterans that lost 53 sons to the war, among the highest total number for a community in the entire country. He has since been actively involved in veterans' organizations, supporting veterans' affairs and giving his time and energy to the veterans' cause.

He is a true Edgewood community leader-guiding and supporting families, organizations, and schools, organizing events and bringing people together to improve their community. His impact is difficult to quantify, but it is readily understood through conversations and interactions with members of the Edgewood community whose lives have been changed for the better because of Mr. Gomez's dedication and involvement.

The hearing will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at the Ron Darner Parks & Recreation Headquarters, 5800 Historic, Old Hwy 90 W. San Antonio, TX 78227.

EL NUEVO PARQUE DE DESTINO DEL DISTRITO 6 AL PARQUE LUIS GOMEZ PARCELA UBICADA ADYACENTE A 5800 HISTÓRICA ANTIGUA HWY 90


La Ciudad de San Antonio llevará a cabo una audiencia pública para nombrar el Nuevo Parque de Destino del Distrito 6 el miércoles 6 de noviembre de 2024, según lo exige el Artículo XVI del Capítulo 6 del Código de la Ciudad. Se considerarán los comentarios, orales o escritos, sobre el nombre del parque de todos los ciudadanos interesados.

La concejal Melissa Cabello Havrda presentó una recomendación para que el parque Old Hwy 90 se llame Parque Luis Gómez. El Sr. Luis Gómez es un residente de toda la vida de la comunidad de Edgewood, donde se ubicará el nuevo parque de destino. Es un pilar de la comunidad de Edgewood: miembro de la Junta Directiva de Edgewood ISD, designado por el Distrito 6 para la Junta de Ajustes de Zonificación de CoSA y designado por el Distrito 6 para el Comité de Redistribución de Distritos de la Ciudad.

Su participación en el avance comunitario y los derechos civiles se remonta a la huelga de Edgewood de 1968, cuando él y un grupo de estudiantes del último año de la escuela secundaria de Edgewood organizaron una huelga para resaltar las condiciones y la discriminación en su escuela. La histórica huelga provocó un cambio generacional en el sistema educativo estatal.


También es miembro de la generación de veteranos de Edgewood Vietnam que perdieron 53 hijos en la guerra, entre el número total más alto para una comunidad en todo el país. Desde entonces, ha participado activamente en organizaciones de veteranos, apoyando los asuntos de los veteranos y dedicando su tiempo y energía a la causa de los veteranos.

Es un verdadero líder de la comunidad de Edgewood, que guía y apoya a familias, organizaciones y escuelas, organiza eventos y une a las personas para mejorar su comunidad. Su impacto es difícil de cuantificar, pero se comprende fácilmente a través de conversaciones e interacciones con miembros de la comunidad de Edgewood cuyas vidas han cambiado para mejor gracias a la dedicación y participación del Sr. Gómez.


La audiencia se llevará a cabo el miércoles 6 de noviembre de 2024, a las 6:00 p.m. en Ron Darner Parks & Recreation Headquarters, 5800 Historic, Old Hwy 90 W. San Antonio, TX 78227.
