SAN JOSE, Calif. - The City of San Jose held a dedication ceremony Saturday for the newly-named Barack Obama Boulevard.
Earlier this year, the city council unanimously approved a community-led effort to rename portions of Bird Avenue and several other nearby streets to honor the former president.
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo led the dedication ceremony today, which was held outside the SAP Center.
