LT. GREGORY JONAS MEMORIAL AVE

This bill designates a specific stretch of Bond Avenue in Centreville as the "Lt. Gregory Jonas Memorial Avenue" to honor a police officer who died in the line of duty. The legislation directly affects the Centreville community and the Illinois Department of Transportation, which is asked to install signs identifying the renamed street. By officially changing the street name, the bill provides a permanent tribute to Lt. Jonas, who was killed while serving with the Centreville Police Department in 2009. Copies of the resolution will be given to Lt. Jonas's family and the state transportation department to formalize this commemoration.
