According to the Associated Press, the Palm Beach County Commission will vote on a resolution to rename a road on local time on the 8th. If the resolution passes, a section of the southern road in southern Florida may soon be renamed "President Donald J. Trump Boulevard." The related news has sparked controversy, with netizens commenting, "It's using taxpayers' money!"

The report said the resolution would rename a 4-mile (6.4 km) stretch of South Road, which runs from Palm Beach International Airport to Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago.
The report added that the relevant law needs local approval to take effect. If this resolution is passed, new road signs will be installed by September. However, these sign names will only have commemorative significance, and postal addresses and emergency response systems will continue to use the original information.
In addition, the Associated Press mentioned that the Florida legislature passed a bill earlier this year, which was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. This law instructed the Florida Department of Transportation to erect a sign honoring Trump along South Road.
The news that "South Road may be renamed" quickly sparked controversy on the social platform X.
Some netizens opposed it, saying, "That's just South Road!"
Some netizens joked, "Now I have another reason not to go to Florida."
Others criticized it, saying, "Extremely bad! It's using taxpayers' money!"
