STRONG EVIDENCE evidence grade — master store (canonical CSV)
Combined Graph record U-02020 · provenance: canonical master store (CSV), record CTL-P-0577. Master record source: CTL seed 2026-10-16 — UNVERIFIED, verify before public citation.
The Honorary Chicago catalog (tier 4) establishes: sign name 'Honorary Swami Vivekananda WAY'; location outside the Art Institute of Chicago on Michigan Ave between Monroe St and Jackson St; Ward 42. The catalog's 'Approved:' field is blank, so this stamp covers sign name and location only and does not establish a designation year. (fetched in full 2026-10-17). Wave-16 update (2026-10-17): a genuine search of Chicago Councilmatic (full-name search plus surname 'honorary street' fallback), conducted via live browser on 2026-10-17, found no enacted honorary designation record for this name — both the full-name search and the surname fallback returned 0 results. Chicago Legistar was unreachable that day (soft block: 'Invalid parameters!'), so the ordinance-record route remains open if a record surfaces there. Stamp remains STRONG EVIDENCE on the Honorary Chicago catalog basis.
