A motion to formally rename a street in Boyle Heights after Mexican singer and actor Vicente Fernández will be considered at a Los Angeles City Council meeting Wednesday.

Fernández, a musical icon who was awarded three Grammys and nine Latin Grammys, died Dec. 12, at the age of 81.

The move to rename Bailey Street, located between 1st Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, will be introduced by Councilmember Kevin de León during Wednesday morning’s virtual meeting.

“The street to be named in his honor is appropriately adjacent to the Los Angeles’ historic Mariachi Plaza,” a news release announcing the motion read.
