Barack Obama is headed to the streets of Los Angeles, literally.

According to CBS News, L.A.’s city council has voted to rename Rodeo Road to Obama Boulevard. On Tuesday night, Los Angeles mayor, Eric Garcetti announced the news via Twitter.

“It’s official: our City Council has voted to rename Rodeo Road to Obama Boulevard! We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President Barack Obama when traveling across L.A.,” he wrote.
