Sign coming to Oakland street named for Ride
Minutes of the meeting note that the port has a tradition of naming its South Airport streets after American astronauts and that Ride had consented to being honored in such a manner. She was the first American woman in space when she made her historic voyage aboard the space shuttle Challenger in 1983.After a long battle with pancreatic cancer, Ride died in 2012 at her San Diego home.
