9. Change Street NamesMemo to: Bruce Williams, City Manager
From: Bob Babb, City Engineer
Re: Request for name changes for 4 roads
I would like to have the names of four roads officially changed.
Custer St. change to 7th Street West
Crook Street change to 8th Street West
Wallace Ave. change to 12th Ave. West
Forsyth Ave. change to 13th Ave. West
Reasons; The graveled roadways will be paved between 7th St. West
and 8th St. West this summer as part of a subdivision
development. The City will be signing these Avenues and Streets
and I would like to establish these names now as part of "good
housekeeping." There are presently no structures that address
off of Wallace or Forsyth. There is a potential that addresses
will be needed for new buildings on 13th Ave. West north of 7th
St. West before the summer is done.
These names go back to the original Ashley subdivision. The
names Custer and Crook Streets have not been used since before
anybody can recall and the Post Office has used 7th St. West and
8th Street West for all addressing in modern times. I am
requesting that the Council pass a resolution covering these 4
name changes.
