WHEREAS, the request for the street name change has been submitted by 19^th District Council Member Colby Sledge, applicant; and,

Agenda Analysis

Analysis

This ordinance renames Division Street from 8^th Ave S to 9^th Ave S, between Division Street and Gleaves Street, as “Old Division Street”. When Division Street was realigned, there was an original section of Division Street remaining between 8^th Ave S and 9^th Ave S resulting in two separate roadways having the same name. Having two sections of street with the same name poses a safety concern and can cause emergency service delays.

This name change has been approved by the Planning Commission and the Emergency Communications District Board. The required report from the Historical Commission has been received and is available as an attachment to the ordinance online.
