JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For most Jacksonville natives, the highway that runs through the city and past an orange Tyrannosaurus rex on its way to the ocean has always been known as Beach Boulevard. The weeks-old petition proposes to rename the road John the Baptist Boulevard after the preacher and religious figure revered by followers of the Christian and Islamic faiths. LINK: View the online petition to rename Beach BoulevardThe petition’s founders, waste disposal executive John Arwood and developer Toney Sleiman, said the idea has nothing to do with recent efforts in Jacksonville and across the country to rename schools and parks named after slave owners. “There was no other road that we felt was better than Beach Boulevard.”That body of water Arwood mentioned, of course, is the Atlantic Ocean. Arwood and Sleiman launched the change.org petition as part of an effort to convince state lawmakers to change the highway’s longtime name.
