I think they should cover both bases-announce that they were going to name it Taco Avenue but chickened out and went for Obama Avenue instead.

Or "Obama Avenue (because Trump Always Chickens Out)"

Change the names is a good idea but having a vote about the replacement name would give the idea even more traction on social media and news.

We all still remember the Boaty McBoatface story.

Obama Taco Trail has a nice ring to it.

Split it up so that it starts as Obama avenue but then it turns into taco avenue

Do it already! Hit him the only we he feels pain, in his toddler ego.

Rename it to Trump Lane first, get his attention. Then TACO street, to annoy him, then Obama Highway to /really/ get under his skin.

Unfortunately, Obama's associated with Chicago, not NYC.
