Dear Riversider,
On January 6, 2026, the City Council will discuss a ceremonial renaming of Lime Street to Capt. Tim Strack Parkway. This designation is honorary and ceremonial in nature and will not affect existing addresses, mailing information, or any services associated with the street.
This ceremonial renaming is intended to recognize and honor the extraordinary service of Captain Tim Strack, who faithfully served the Riverside Fire Department for 28 years. During his distinguished career, Captain Strack also served as President of the Riverside City Firefighters’ Association Local 1067. Remarkably, he led the association for one-fifth of its entire history, becoming the longest serving and most accomplished president in the organization’s century-long existence.
Captain Strack was deeply committed to the Riverside community. His dedication to public safety, civic involvement, and the wellbeing of our residents left a lasting impact that continues to be felt today. This ceremonial renaming serves as a tribute to his legacy and his decades of devoted service.
If the City Council approves this proposal, please be assured that no changes to addresses or other personal or municipal information will occur. For any questions or inquiries, please contact my office at [email protected].
I am grateful for the support in honoring Captain Strack’s legacy.
Sincerely,
Philip Falcone
Riverside City Councilmember, Ward 1
