Requesting the renaming of Cedar Street Place as Carole Place.

 

body

Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

The abutters and owners of the private street, Cedar Street Place, have petitioned the City to rename their jointly owned private street to reduce confusion with the adjacent public street, Cedar Street. The requested new name for the private street is Carole Place.

 

Police, Fire, OSPCD and Engineering departments have reviewed the petition and have recommended the private way name change as petitioned. This will both reduce confusion for property access and help prevent safety issues.

 

Therefore, I respectfully request that Cedar Street Place be renamed Carole Place.  In this way, reference locations will be clarified and the potential for confusion minimized.  Please see the attached correspondence from the Director of Engineering in support of this request. 

 

Staff will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding this item.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
