Officials in Tucson are asking the public to weigh in on whether to rename a city park after the late Congressman Raul Grijalva.
The city’s giving community members 45 days to comment on a proposal to rename southside Tucson’s Mission Manor Park to the Raúl M. Grijalva Park.
Tucson Parks and Recreation is accepting online and mail-in comments until December first.
The late congressman held the district 7 seat for more than two decades and died earlier this year after a yearlong battle with lung cancer.
His daughter, Adelita Grijalva, won the seat in September but has yet to be sworn in — a delay U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson says is due to the ongoing government shutdown.
