Shuey is remembered for naming Friendship Park, as well as for acquiring funding for parks in the city’s less affluent areas. He was also instrumental in the development of the concept for the Avondale Auto Mall, an idea that he attributed to his observation of similarly designed auto malls along Interstate 10 in California.[3] The auto mall along with other new development contributed strength to the local economy.
