Its 100% virtue signaling. We need to focus our energy and resources on things like the trash covered streets, high taxes, the increasing unaffordability of the area, drugs and crime.

How does changing a street name really use that much energy or resource? There’s literally no downside to it

It seems to me that that poster doesn't understand how government works. I see this a lot with conservatives swayed by punditry. The government isn't a corner lemonade stand. It can handle addressing multiple major matters and lesser at the same time!! Magic!!

Ask someone who lives on the street how much of their personal info we'll have to change. Then multiply that by thousands of people.

Yeah this is probably my biggest issue with it. Although I don’t live on that street it is one of Worcester’s longest streets. It’s not at all comparable to the Yawkey way issue in Boston. Because the Red Sox were the primary owners of property on that street in addition to a handful of restaurants and a 7-Eleven. Whereas plantation Street is home to probably well over 1000 residents
