Even the unofficial name for the main gateway into the non completed central Fairfield redevelopment project was hijacked. Fairfield Planning appears to have also have copied "Fairfield Gateway" used to describe West Texas Street. Attempts to change the name for West Texas Street to a name less confusing with North Texas Street were turned down. This is despite the fact that GPS often directs people to North Texas Street when they really want the city's Fairfield Gateway to downtown.
The street surrounding Solano Mall took the word "Gateway". The "Gateway" term per the trademark people at Fairfield's Invention Springboard, does not appear to be similar enough to warrant forcing the city to change the name.
This is another political use for hurting central Fairfield, while helping the new businesses surrounding Solano Mall.
