Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance renames four disconnected segments of Old Harding Pike. The construction of Highway 100 created several disconnected segment roadways on Old Harding Pike, and emergency responders have struggled to locate addresses on the road because the disconnected roadways have the same street names.
The proposal would rename the 7900-8082 segment of Old Harding Pike as Smith Ford Road, the 8101-8131 segment of Old Harding Pike as Pink Tower Road, the 8200-8296 segment of Old Harding Pike as Linton Lane, and the 8405-8423 segment of Old Harding Pike as Old Harding Grove.
This proposal has been approved by the Planning Commission and the Emergency Communications District Board. In addition, the required report regarding historical significance of the street names has been received from the Historical Commission. Amendments to this legislation may be approved by resolution.
