In 2011, a petition was signed by approximately 200 members of the community "in support of the proposal to dedicate Sugar Land's Main Street Bridge in honor of Annette Williamson Wise, who led the effort to decorate the bridge for the City's sesquicentennial celebrations in 1986 and maintain it afterward. Annette served her community in many other ways, as well."

The petition continued that, "We feel that this is a very appropriate way in which we can remember and honor Annette for her contributions to the community. Annette W. Wise will be missed."

At the City Council Meeting on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, Sugar Land City Council Members Steve Porter and Bridget Yeung, along with former City Council Member Mr. Dennis Parmer, brought forward a workshop item for the City Council’s review of and discussion on naming the Main Street Bridge after Annette Williamson Wise.  At this workshop, the City Council concurred that they would like to move forward in considering naming the bridge currently known as the Main Street Bridge after Ms. Wise. 

Based on City Council discussion at the February 27, 2018, the recommendation is to approve  Resolution No. 18-14 to officially name the bridge currently known as the Main Street Bridge to the Annette Williamson Wise Bridge.
