Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance renames a portion of Alley #1892, from Meade Avenue to Alley #1917, to “Frankie Alley.” There is a home located on McIver Street that is only accessible by Alley #1892. The United States Postal Service will not deliver mail or packages to this address, as the alley is currently unnamed. This street renaming was requested by Council Member Ginny Welsch.
This proposal has been approved by the Planning Commission. This legislation requires a recommendation from the Emergency Communications District Board and a written report regarding the historical significance of the street name from the Historical Commission prior to approval on second reading. The legislation is scheduled for the April 17 meeting of the Emergency Communications District Board.
