AGENDA
HEADING:
Resolution
initiating the naming of the portion of U.S. Highway 69 extending north from E.
County Line Road to where it converges with SE 14th Street as “Southridge Boulevard.”
SYNOPSIS:
The
portion of U.S. Highway 69 extending north from E. County Line Road to where it
converges with SE 14th Street does not have an official City Street
name and staff requests that Council initiate the process to name that portion “Southridge Boulevard.”
FISCAL
IMPACT:
Amount: $2,300
Funding Source: 2009-10 Capital Improvement Program, Page
Traffic Control Improvements -5, City-wide Signals, Channelization and School
Crossing Protection Program, TFC091.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
U.S. Highway 69 south from E. County Line Road was
named Southridge Boulevard when street naming was
completed in the newly annexed Warren County.
The portion of U.S. Highway 69 where it splits from SE 14th
Street south does not have a designated street name. It is often considered an extension of SE 14th. SE 14th proceeds south of the
point where U.S. Highway 69 diverts south and easterly. Therefore, the section of U.S. Highway 69 between
the split and the connection with Southridge
Boulevard would best be named as an extension of the existing street name. The renaming will improve safety for the
businesses along this road and drivers that travel this stretch of road.
The request to rename the street is presented to
Council in conformance with Policy for Naming of Streets, Facilities and Park
Land in the City of Des Moines adopted May 4, 2009.
