Kyle City Council votes to remove Rebel Drive; committee to recommend new street names

The Kyle City Council voted unanimously to remove the Rebel Drive street name and create a committee to rename the road Tuesday night.

After public backlash from its first proposed renaming to Fajita Drive, the council rescinded their previous decision but will continue with the eventual removal of the Rebel name because of its ties to the Confederacy.

“The state highway will continue to be referred to by its state assigned designation as West Ranch to Market Road 150 until a new name is chosen,” read a press release by the city.
