Austin City Council approved a measure Thursday to rename a portion of 2nd Street Willie Nelson Boulevard.
The new boulevard runs between Trinity and San Antonio streets.
The idea was brought up earlier this month, during the same time a model of a bronze statue of Nelson was unveiled.
The statue will be installed later this year on West 2nd Street near the entrance of the new Austin City Limits studio in the W Hotel.
