CASE # <br /> <br />CONSIDER CITIZEN PETITION FOR STREET NAME CHANGE <br /> By: Steven J. Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background:~ <br /> <br />A petition was received on May l 0, 2005 from seven of the eight residential properties <br />fronting on Old County Road 5 to have the street sign changed to Old Nowthen <br />Boulevard. These residents am. utilizing Nowthen Boulevard as their street address which <br />is also the street address listed in the Anoka County data base. The residents feel the <br />name change would assist in eliminating confusion over their location. <br /> <br />This street was turned over to the City when County Rd 5 was realigned in 1969. Since <br />this road is described as either County-Road 5 (the official county designation) or. <br />Nowth~n Boulevard (the common name associated'with the street by the City). Since <br />either name appears to be appropriate the' change in signage would not [equire an official <br />name change. In effect the current residences would not have a change in address. <br /> <br />Neither the police nor the fire chief object to the proposed change in signage. However, <br />should the sign change be authorized, 911 should be notified as a precaution. The cost <br />involved would consist of replacement of three sign blades at an estimated cost of $360. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends changing the street signs as petitioned by the residents and that 911 <br />officials be notified of the change. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to City Council that the' street signs be changed as petitioned by <br />the residents and th.at 911 officials be notified ot' the change. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Public Works Director/Fire Chief <br />Police Chief. <br />Public Works Street Supervisor <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />PW: 06/21/05 <br /> <br />· . _37553 <br /> <br /> <br />
