Valleybrook South Drive residents oppose street name change

CHAMPAIGN – Valleybrook South Drive residents in southwest Champaign could soon be getting a new street name.

Hint: Think minty freshness.

Wintergreen Drive is the new name the city's staff is recommending for Valleybrook South Drive, a winding boulevard that is often confused with the street immediately north of it, Valley Brook Drive. Windsor Road separates the two streets.
