Thousands petitioning to change the name of Robert E. Lee Road

AUSTIN (KXAN) — In Austin, an online group is petitioning to have the name of Robert E. Lee Road changed after the White Nationalist rally in Virginia turned deadly on Saturday.
Over the weekend, Robert E. Lee street signs were vandalized with red spray paint at four intersections in the south Austin neighborhood. The city says it will cost about $700 and take a couple of weeks to replace the signs.
Now, thousands of people have signed the change.org petition to rename Robert E. Lee Road.
