Hubble Students Get Chance to Name Road

Interesting tidbit that came out of the Warrenville City Council meeting I attended last night at Warrenville City Hall…

Aside from the amusement of watching Mayor Brummel try to get a consensus on the name of the road that will lead into the new Hubble Middle School for District 200 students, an idea was raised to let the students themselves have a chance at coming up with the name.

Galaxy Drive, Hubble Lane, Edwin Hubble Lane, Husky Drive were all discussed, and the plan was to have students supply a short list of names to the city council so they could be OK'd with the police and fire departments, then let the students vote on the new name.

The details still need to be worked out by the school, but I thought this was a great idea. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for "Edwin Hubble Lane" because it honors the namesake of the school, and it'll stop people from asking why the school was named after a telescope!
