Pasadena City Council, Mayor Victor Gordo, Department of Public Works, City Staff, and City Manager's Office City of Pasadena

Dear Mayor Gordo, City Council Members, Public Works Department, City Staff, and City Manager, I'm reaching out to urge your consideration in renaming the Dayton street segment next to Central Park to "Troop Way." As a lifelong fan and supporter of Troop, I believe this gesture would honor not just a music group, but a legacy that has resonated with people worldwide.
Growing up in Pasadena and surrounding areas Troop's music was the soundtrack of my life. Their hits filled the airwaves and brought our community together during tough times. Whether it was cruising down Colorado Boulevard or hanging out at Central Park, Brookside Park, or Jackie Robinson Park, Troop's melodies were always there, providing comfort a nd joy.
But Troop's influence extends far beyond our city limits. Their music has touched the hearts of fans across the globe, uniting people from different cultures and backgrounds. Renaming a street after Troop would be a global recognition of their impact on music and culture.
Additionally, Troop's presence in Pasadena embodies the spirit and pride of our city. Alien, a member of Troop, coined the acronym "TROOP," which stands for Total Respect of Other People, reflecting their commitment to spreading positivity and unity through their music.
Moreover, Troop members have made significant contributions to the music industry. Steven, for instance, has earned several Grammy awards for his exceptional work as a producer and songwriter. His contributions to hits like "No Air," "Take You Down," "Gots Ta Be," and "Sorry 2004," among others, highlight the talent and versatility within the Troop brotherhood. Each member of Troop is not only a phenomenal performer but also a skilled songwriter and producer, showcasing the depth of talent within the group.
I am a supporter of "Troop Way." Please submit this for public comment. Let's show our appreciation for Troop's contributions and ensure their legacy continues to inspire generations to come.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Candy Fields
