STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Informational Report Outlining the Process for Changing the Street
Name for Highway 74
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: April 10, 2008
CONTENTS: None
Recommendation:
Receive and file informational report outlining the process for changing
the street name for Highway 74.
Discussion:
With the City having recently assumed jurisdiction over State Route (Highway) 74 it has
been requested that renaming the street be considered. The process involves noticing,
then conducting a public hearing to receive input from concerned citizens.
Staff has considered the concerns and alternatives for renaming a major highway such
as Highway 74 and recommends that if the name is to be changed, a dual street name
be implemented for a certain period of time. This will afford the affected residents and
businesses with a Highway 74 address the opportunity to update stationery, websites,
phone book listings, and the like.
Therefore, staff intends to, within 30 days, propose a resolution for City Council
adoption scheduling a public hearing regarding the renaming of Highway 74.
