San Francisco is mourning the loss of Claude, the beloved albino alligator and 'unofficial mascot' of the California Academy of Sciences. At 30 years old, Claude passed away from liver cancer, leaving a lasting impact on the city. District 7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar proposes a heartwarming tribute: renaming a city street in his honor. The public is invited to participate in this special decision, ensuring Claude's legacy is celebrated in a meaningful way. The poll, accessible via Mission Local's map, offers several streets neighboring the Academy, where Claude resided for 17 years. By casting your vote, you contribute to the final choice, which will be presented to the Recreation and Parks commission for approval. This initiative aims to immortalize Claude's spirit and the joy he brought to San Francisco. The poll closes on December 31, and the results will be announced in early January, marking the beginning of Claude's new street name.
