The council gave the go-head to begin the process of renaming Elysian Park Avenue between Sunset Boulevard and Stadium Way “Vin Scully Avenue.”
Former Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda, former Dodger stars including Steve Garvey, Orel Hershiser, Maury Wills and Eric Karros, new Dodger manager Dave Roberts and 17 active players, including pitcher Clayton Kershaw and outfielder Yasiel Puig, were expected to attend the council meeting to support the motion, which was introduced by Councilman Gil Cedillo.
