Background: <br />The contract for the 167 Avenue realignment project was awarded on June 23, 2009. Construction is <br />currently underway and progressing nicely, with a tentative completion date of about one (1) month. <br />Due to the new alignment some residents have inquired about a potential new name for the street. They <br />are not specifically requesting a change but only want to understand if one is being considered, and <br />whether they would be affected. <br />Observations: <br />In the past certain east -west collector streets have been renamed as a result of a construction project, <br />and it was done with much debate. Staff is proposing to leave the existing street names the same, but <br />to clarify the location of the street transition. We believe installing a street sign at this intersection of <br />Jaspar Street & 166 /167 would clearly identify the appropriate street sections. We propose that <br />167 Ave. be named as such from Nowthen Blvd. to Jaspar Street, and 166 Ave. to remain as such <br />from Jaspar Street to the west. <br />Currently there is only one resident that will require an address change (from 6951 167 to 16701 <br />Jaspar Street), as 167 will no longer exist in front of their home. With staff's naming proposal all <br />other parcels can remain addressed as is. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends leaving the street naming system in this area as is, and installing a sign at the <br />intersection of Jaspar Street and 166 Avenues to demark the transition. <br />Committee Action: <br />Motion to recommend to the City Council that the street naming along the 166 /167 Avenue NW <br />corridor to remain unchanged. <br />Attachments: <br />Location Map <br />Construction Plan <br />CONSIDER STREET NAME CHANGE FOR 167 AVENUE NW <br />By: Tim Himmer, City Engineer <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public Works /Principal City Engineer <br />PW: 9/15/09 <br />CASE # <br />
