Richard Techman
VERIFIED evidence grade — master store (canonical CSV)
Combined Graph record U-01999 · provenance: canonical master store (CSV), record CTL-P-0556. Master record source: CTL seed 2026-10-16 — UNVERIFIED, verify before public citation.
City Clerk record O2022-3643 (Document Tracking Sheet + ordinance text): the ordinance standardizes the sign at 'the SE Corner of 53rd St. and S Mobile Ave.' as 'Honorary Richard Techman Way' (sponsor Tabares, 23rd Ward). The stored segment 'South Mobile Avenue from 53rd to 54th' is consistent with that corner but is not the ordinance's language; it is retained and the difference is recorded here rather than silently harmonized. Stored year 2022 confirmed (packet introduced November 4, 2022). Upgraded 2026-10-17 from STRONG EVIDENCE (Honorary Chicago catalog: http://www.honorarychicago.com/blog?offset=1671485160347) under CTL-MTH-001/002/003 on the strength of the City Clerk ordinance record (tracking sheet + ordinance text) (fetched in full 2026-10-17).
