HOUSE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Pulaski Road, which was named after American
Revolution war hero Casimir Pulaski, is a major north-south
thoroughfare in the City of Chicago; prior to 1913, Pulaski
Road was known as 40th Avenue; the road was known as 40th
Avenue until 1935 when, over local opposition and a legal
battle that went all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court, the
thoroughfare was named after Casimir Pulaski; and
WHEREAS, Pulaski Road still retains the name of Crawford
Avenue in the north suburbs of Lincolnwood, Skokie, Evanston,
and Wilmette, north of Devon Avenue (6400 N) and south from the
Chicago City Limits to Lincoln Highway US-30; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
NINETY-SEVENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
the entire north-south stretch of the thoroughfare, including
the aforementioned sections of Crawford Avenue, shall be
designated as Pulaski Road; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Illinois Department of Transportation
is requested to erect at suitable locations, consistent with
State regulations, plaques or signs giving notice of the name
of Pulaski Road; and be it further
