I agree with Mayor Pritchard’ recommendation to the city council to name the new overpass: Seminary Kellogg Street Overpass. As that’s what most Galesburgians will probably call it, it should be so named, for the sake of clarity. I also like the idea of naming the overpass for a female, and since we have a Don Moffitt Overpass we could name the new one for Cheri Bustos. I love Mother Bickerdyke’s legacy (and town statue), but I’m not sure that I like Bickerdyke Overpass. I like that the Mayor’s choice is descriptive and to the point, and the streets were named after our town’s “founding fathers”. Seminary Kellogg Street Overpass just reduces confusion.
