Dallas City Council approves street name change to Nowitzki Way
We have a Nolan Ryan Expressway and a Tom Landry Freeway.
Soon we’ll have Nowitzki Way.
The Dallas City Council approved the move this week.
An image was posted on a Reddit message board last spring showing a City of Dallas sign posted on a street sign pole announcing the proposed street name change of Olive Street to Nowitzki Way for Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki. Nick Angstadt posted the image on Twitter which stirred interest among Mavs fans.
Olive Street runs East just south of Victory Plaza on the south side of American Airlines Center and winds south into downtown Dallas.
Nowitzki retired in April after 21 seasons with the Mavericks.
