City of Savannah officials will join family members of Alderman Detric Leggett on Friday, Oct. 4 at 2 p.m. to unveil a new honorary street dedication. A portion of Live Oak Street, between E. 35^th St. and E. 36 St., will be dedicated as Linda B. Harris Way.  

The honorary designation was approved by City Council on Sept. 12, 2024. Harris, a beloved pillar of the community, passed away July 12, 2023. 

In a letter of support for the designation, Alderman Nick Palumbo wrote: “Harris served with distinction as a decorated member of the 165^th Airlift Wing of the Georgia National Guard for over 36 years, retiring with full honors as a Senior Master Sergeant. During her service to our Nation, Harris served during numerous critical operations for the United States Air Force. It is for this distinction of service to both her community and our nation that I kindly request the approval of an honorary street designation.” 

The honorary street name designation is intended to recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the community. The designation does not interfere with the official name of the street.
