Lexington Mayor Jim Newberry said Friday he supports changing the name of Hilo Street to Durman Drive in honor of Lexington Police Officer Bryan J. Durman, who died in the line of duty April 29. 

The street is located close to Central Sector Roll Call.  Durman was assigned to Central Sector.

“I support renaming the street, and I will work with Council and administrative agencies to make that happen,” Newberry said.  “Our community should never forget Officer Durman or the sacrifice he made on behalf of our safety.”

The next meeting of the city’s Address Committee, which considered the change at its July 23 meeting, is Aug. 20.
