NO: January 26, 1982
SUBJECT: Street Name Changes
BACKGROUND: Occasionally, minor items come up which need attention to maintain an
order. The following are such items.
The first is the suffix for a street named "Harris." The final plat of Dwight
Harris Subdivision contains the name "Harris Avenue." In the overall scheme of
things, avenues run north/south and streets run east/west. Approval of a final
plat fixes all street names. Therefore, in this instance, an official change from
Harris "Avenue" to Harris "Street" must be done by ordinance. This change would
only affect one existing house, 4207 Harris.
The second is a little more detailed than the first. Spencer's First Industrial
Subdivision contains a street named "Ford Street" which runs east from Dayton Road
and turns south to intersect with East Lincoln Way. There needs to be some different
designation for the north/south segment of the street. This is the street that
eventually will cross Lincoln Way and continue southward to meet with Southeast
16th Street. There are three existing buildings on the north/south segment north
of Lincoln Way. It is proposed to rename this street "Bell Avenue."
ALTERNATIVES:
1. To make no changes.
2. To rename the north/south segment Ford "Avenue." However, this street would
eventually span a distance of 14 miles and there would still be confusion with
two "Fords."
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: To make the changes as proposed and direct the City
Attorney to draft an ordinance.
