FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a street name change from Jefferson Street to Magnolia
Avenue.
FILE: 835-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
The Public Works Department has initiated a request to change the name of a section of
Jefferson Street, from Laurel Street on the north to Bowie Street on the south, to
Magnolia Avenue. Magnolia already extends to its intersection with Laurel Street, where
the name then changes to Jefferson Street. The proposed name change would extend
Magnolia Avenue to Bowie Street, from which point the road would then become
Jefferson Street.
For years, Magnolia has ended at Laurel Street. With the construction of the Great Lawn
Park and the Events Centre, a through street connecting Magnolia to Jefferson was built.
This item was sent to all interested parties. No negative responses have been received.
