Gina Rodriguez Street? 'Jane The Virgin' Actress Might Get Honorary Road In Her Name

Gina Rodriguez is off to a great beginning of the year! Already four months into 2016 and the "Jane the Virgin" has accomplished many things, including the renewal of "Jane the Virgin" for season three and various movie projects slated for this year. Needless to say she recently received the Female Star of Tomorrow special recognition at the 2016 CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards and received the Young Humanitarian Award at the Unite4: Humanity event held in March. In other words, Gina is unstoppable!

Due to her well-deserving achievements and career milestones, an alderman has proposed to name a street in Chicago after the "Jane the Virgin" actress. The Puerto Rican star, who was born in Illinois, Chicago, might have the Northwest Side block she grew up on called "Honorary Gina Rodriguez Way." According to the Chicago Tribune, the proposal was made by Ald. Gilbert Villegas after his 2015 campaign, when he learned that the film and TV star grew up in the Belmont Cragin community. Villegas has also been a fan of "Jane the Virgin" since it premiered on the CW Network in 2014.

If all goes as planned, the honorary designation for the street will be on the 2300 block of North Keating Avenue. Villegas's director of policy, Justin Heath, said he expects there will be a ceremony in September if the City Council passes the measure, reports the Chicago Tribune. The actress has yet to make a statement regarding this great movement happening back home; however, she already got the memo as she's been retweeting the news on her Twitter account.

So far this year, the 31-year-old Golden Globe winner launched her first-ever foundation called "We Will Foundation" to empower women in the arts. She will also star in two new films: "Deepwater Horizon" with Mark Wahlberg and "Annilation" with Natalie Portman. If Rodriguez nabs her own street name, she will be joining a list of Latinos who have had honorary streets named after them, such as Don Francisco, Celia Cruz, and Willy Chirino, amongst others.
