The authority to name streets in the Borough
and to change the name of streets shall repose in the Mayor and Council.
In any development project which involves the
creation of new streets, the governing body shall have the right to
name the streets or to change the name of the streets. Prior to issuance
of certificates of occupancy for property fronting on any new street
created as a result of a land use approval, the applicant for the
certificate of occupancy shall submit to the Mayor and Council a copy
of the plan on which the new street is depicted, together with the
developer's proposed name. The Mayor and Council may by resolution
approve the name or change the name of any new street. Prior to the
erection of any new street signs on a new street, the developer shall
seek approval of the Mayor and Council of the name of the proposed
new street.
In any instance in which the governing body
wishes to approve the name of a proposed new street, change the name
of an existing street or change the name of a proposed new street,
it shall do so by resolution.
