Item Summary:
On September 14, 2010, the Public Safety & Public Works Committee approved changing only the names of the streets where there was resident support and those which resulted in no comments at all, and not change the names of streets where the residents object. The City has notified residents of both similarly named streets for which the City is considering no change, and that they may be affected by potential confusion. The City has also notified residents of streets which are recommended for change.
 
The following street names are recommended for change at this time:
Greenhouse Pkwy (S. Holcomb Bridge Rd.) - change to Jasmine Parkway
Park Ridge Lane (Roswell Creek Apts.) - change to Roswell Creek Lane and Roswell Creek Circle
Cherry St. - change to Cherry Way
Plum Street - change to Plum Tree Street
Walnut Street - change to Walnut Lane
Bircham Way S. - change to Bircham Way
Crabtree Drive East - change to Crabtree Drive
Crabtree Drive West - change to Crabtree Drive
Creekwood Crossing East - change to Creekwood Crossing
Creekwood Crossing West - change to Creekwood Crossing
Riverridge - change to River Ridge
 
The City has conducted an education campaign by way of public information meetings that notified residents of the possibility of confusion in street names during a 911 call. The residents have been informed of the importance of mentioning the subdivision name in which their street is located in the event of an emergency.

On December 14, 2010 the Public Safety & Public Works Committee recommended placing this item on the December 27, 2010 Mayor and Council Agenda.
