Case #8: Accept Information Regarding Staff Recommendation for a New Street Name for 153~'~/155th Avenue City Administrator Norman stated that the City is currently working to construct a connection between 15Y~ Avenue and 155th Avenue creating a City.street that cmmects the east side of Ramsey to the west side. At the Happy Days festival in September, residents were asked for their suggestions for a new street name. Staff received approximately 30 suggestions, which were submitted to the Council for their consideration. They selected five and asked that staff be surveyed for their choice fi'om those five. Surveys listing the five choices went out to all City departmen'ts asking that each proposed street name be ranked and retm-ned to the Assistm~t City Administrator by November 13, 2000. The Assistant City Administrator received 37 responses from 54 City employees. The staff selected "Alpine" as their favorite name for 153/155 Avenue. There Was also a suggestion that "Drive" should be changed to "Parkway" because the roadway runs adjacent to Alpine Park. Lake Itasca Drive came in as'second; Municipal Center Drive third; Thorn Drive fourth; and Pearson Drive fifth. Councilmember Connolly stated that she would prefer AlPine Drive so that ".Drives" are going in one direction and "Boulevards" in another. City Attorney Goodrich noted that the name change would require an ordinance so at this point all they are doing is selecting a name and directing staff to put together an ordinance for introduction. Mayor Gamec stated that there has been some concern from residents on how the address change will be handled and inquired if the City will handle that change or does the post office or resident have to do it. City Administrator Norman replied that staff will research that information and bring it back. City Council/November 28, 2000 Page 15 of 21 -109-
