Cliff Williams / The Outlook Alexander City resident Teresa Moten presents a petition to rename R Street at Monday’s city council meeting.

Longtime Alexander City resident Robie Johnson will soon have a street named in his memory.

Johnson didn’t quite live to his 91st birthday and see R Street named after him, but that didn’t stop residents from filling Alexander City City Council Chambers for Monday’s council meeting to show their support of the measure.
