[Adopted as Secs. 32-8 and 32-9 of the 1963
City Code (Ch. 222, Art. II, of the 1980 Code)]
A.Â
The several streets, courts, avenues, squares, lanes
and ways in the City shall continue to be known and called by the
names by which they are now known and called until the same shall
be altered by the City Council. The City Council shall give names
to all streets, courts, avenues, squares, lanes and ways hereafter
laid out and established or accepted and may change such names at
any time, subject to the provisions of law.
B.Â
Before any order to change the name of a public way shall be finally passed by the City Council, public hearings shall be held as outlined in Subsections A through C, inclusive, of § 222-4. All petitions for such actions shall be filed with the City Clerk and shall be accompanied by 16 copies of the appropriate Assessor's plan or similar plan showing the street or way and a listing of abutters to said street or way taken from the most recent applicable tax list. Such plan and list of abutters shall be the sole responsibility of the petitioner who shall file the original and 16 copies with the Clerk, who shall distribute the petition to the Council and Board.
[Added 12-14-1982 by Doc. 210]
It shall be the duty of the Superintendent of
Highways to cause suitable and legible signs plainly setting forth
the name of each street, court, avenue, square, lane or way to be
placed and maintained on or near the corners of all such streets,
courts, avenues, squares, lanes and ways.
