No calls to change name of Christopher Columbus Ave in Danbury

There are a lot of calls coming into Danbury's 311 line, but none have been about Christopher Columbus Avenue.  Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton told CT Insider that he hasn't heard of anyone asking for the street on the City's west side to be renamed, and isn't sure if the City owns the street. The half a mile stretch of street could be a private road, which was only named after the Italian explorer in 2004.  Prior to that the road was named West Kenosia Avenue, as it borders Lake Kenosia and leads to Kenosia Park.  Christopher Columbus Avenue is home to the Amerigo Vespucci Lodge, named for the Italian merchant, explorer, and navigator, from whose name the Americas are derived.
