Columbus Park in downtown San Antonio could soon be Piazza Italia Park. After hearing from more 50 residents at a virtual hearing Thursday, a special park-naming committee voted in favor of renaming the park and forwarded its recommendation to the City Council, which has the final say.

“This is an amazing time in our city,” said District 1 Councilman Roberto C. Treviño during the teleconference hearing. “This is another great story about how different sides came together to resolve something in a peaceful, amazing way that we can set as an example for the nation for many years to come.”
