Date: October 11,1994
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RENAMING R-50 AS DR. GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER
AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
In June of this year, the City Council approved the concept of renaming County Road
R-50 from Stange Road to Bloomington Road as Dr. George Washington Carver
Boulevard, subject to concurrence of Story County since a portion of the right-of-way
falls under the County's jurisdiction. The Board of Supervisors has recently approved
the renaming of the roadway.
This item is being brought back to Council for final action since only the concept was
previously approved. In addition, staff would like the name changed to Dr. George
Washington Carver Avenue rather than using boulevard, since avenue more closely
fits the character of the facility and the City's naming pattern.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt an ordinance renaming the section of R-50 from Stange Road to
Bloomington Road as Dr. George Washington Carver Avenue.
2. Reject the name change request.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
#1, adopting an ordinance renaming R-50 from Stange Road to Bloomington Road as
Dr. George Washington Carver Avenue.
