STRONG EVIDENCE evidence grade — master store (canonical CSV)

Combined Graph record U-02029 · provenance: canonical master store (CSV), record CTL-P-0586. Master record source: CTL seed 2026-10-16 — UNVERIFIED, verify before public citation.

The Honorary Chicago catalog (tier 4) establishes: sign name 'Honorary Verlean Perkins Avenue'; location 6100-6246 S Wabash Ave; approved June 2024; Ward 20. (fetched in full 2026-10-17). Wave-16 update (2026-10-17): a genuine search of Chicago Councilmatic, conducted via live browser on 2026-10-17, found no enacted honorary designation record for this name — only O2024-0009171 'Verlean Perkins Avenue' — STALE, introduced/referred 2024-05-22, never passed (record page opened and confirmed). 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. Explicitly noted: the only legislative item found is a stale, never-passed referral; no enacted designation exists in the record as of 2026-10-17.
