Mr. Henry Bridgeman, Chairman of the Highway Committee of the Chamber of Commerce was the first to speak in favor of this change. Mr. Bridgeman explained the background for the reason for requesting this change, enumerated the numerous meetings held with the respective Planning Commissions and Commissions of Clark County, North Las Vegas and Las Vegas. Mr. Bridgeman further stated that the original request was that the change be made only on Fifth Street, designating the street Las Vegas Boulevard North and Las Vegas Boulevard South, using Fremont Street as the intersection point. He advised that subsequent to this original determination, a number of the businessmen on Main Street had requested that Main Street also be changed to Las Vegas Boulevard, which resulted in the compromise resolution that is being considered by the Board of Commissioners at this meeting.
