Garrison Avenue to Honorarily be Named Patrolman Cassie Johnson Avenue

During tonight’s Charleston City Council meeting, Council unanimously voted to honorarily name the entire length of Garrison Avenue Patrolman Cassie Johnson Avenue.  The Charleston Police Department’s D-shift supported this measure and entered the petition for the honorary street naming.

“Patrolman Cassie Johnson was an exemplary public servant who had a passion for the citizens that she served,” said Chief Tyke Hunt. “This honorary street naming will act as a constant reminder of her bravery, courage and determination to serve the City of Charleston.”

Council also approved a contract with McNeil Fence Company in the amount of $69,992.00 for the construction of fencing and gates for two new City dog parks located at Cato Park and Dunbar Street. The dog park located at Cato Park will be named Emma’s Place in honor of Patrolman Johnson’s beloved chocolate lab.
