STRONG EVIDENCE evidence grade — master store (canonical CSV)

Combined Graph record U-02032 · provenance: canonical master store (CSV), record CTL-P-0589. Master record source: CTL seed 2026-10-16 — UNVERIFIED, verify before public citation.

The Honorary Chicago catalog (tier 4) establishes: sign name 'Honorary Disney Family Avenue'; location N Tripp St between W Armitage Ave and W Fullerton Ave; approved May 2016; Ward 35. (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 — the only related record is the family-level 'Disney Family Avenue' (O2016-2684, passed 2016-05-18), which honors the Disney family generally rather than Walt Disney individually (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.
