RIP Claude the Alligator: Supervisors moving to rename Golden Gate Park street in his honor

A bit of bittersweet news from City Hall this week. Following the passing of our favorite albino alligator, Claude, the Board of Supervisors (led by Myrna Melgar) just passed a resolution urging Rec and Parks to rename a street in Golden Gate Park after him.

The top choice from the Mission Local poll? "Claude the Alligator Way."

The supes mentioned they were flooded with emails and texts from people sharing childhood memories of visiting him at the Academy of Sciences. It’s a small thing, but a nice way to cement a local legend into the park’s geography.

The final decision goes to the Recreation and Park Commission on January 15th.

What do you think? Is "Claude the Alligator Way" the right move, or should we go with something like "Albino Alley"?
