COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: CHANGING THE "SOUTH" BELL AVENUE STREET NAME
BACKGROUND:
During the review of the street name policy for the "North" Riverside Drive - Oak
Avenue area street name change, staff discovered that there were two streets that
should have either a "east" or "south" prefix added to their street name. These included
street segments on "East" O'Neil Drive and "South" Bell Avenue that extend east of
Duff Avenue, and south of Lincoln Way, respectively. As noted in the discussions with
changing the street names in the "North" Riverside Drive - Oak Avenue area, staff
believes that the prefixes should be added to streets to assist motorists with finding
business and residential addresses.
Staff believes that the "South" Bell Avenue street name should be changed in the next
few months due to the planned development on the street. Currently, there are plans
by Story Construction and Nelson Electric to construct buildings with offices on "South"
Bell Avenue. By changing the street name in this time period, these businesses could
have the correct addresses printed on their invoices and other documents. Also, the
proper street name could be placed on new signs for their businesses. Currently, only
one storage building owned by Marvin Walters has been constructed on this street.
Staff has contacted all the property owners in the area concerning the proposed street
name change. No one had a problem with the change, and they believed that it may
assist the public with finding their businesses.
Staff will also notify residents and property owners on "East" O'Neil Drive about the
proposed street name change in the next several weeks. If residents are supportive of
this measure, staff will present the issue to City Council.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Change the street name on Bell Avenue by adding a "south" prefix for the street
segment that extends south of East Lincoln Way.
2. Do nothing.
