Title
A substitute ordinance relating to the procedure for renaming streets.
Sections
113-3-4-b am
Analysis
The code currently stipulates that, in the case of a request for renaming a street, the appropriate city department shall conduct a postcard survey of residents, businesses and property owners along the street. The code further provides that the street renaming proposal shall not be given further consideration unless the results of the postcard survey indicate that at least 50 percent of all property owners, residents and businesses along the street support the proposal. This ordinance provides that no postcard survey shall be required if the renaming is initiated by the city and the renaming is necessary to eliminate a threat to public safety, such as but not limited to a situation where 2 streets have the same name and identical addresses exist or could be created.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

Part 1. Section 113-3-4-b of the code is amended to read:

113-3. Naming of Public Buildings, Facilities and Streets.

4. PROCEDURE.

b. Following submission of a naming, renaming or honorary street naming proposal, the relevant city department or agency shall evaluate the proposed name in terms of the criteria contained in this section. In the case of a street renaming, the department or agency shall also conduct a postcard survey of residents, businesses and owners of property along the street. A street renaming proposal shall not be given further consideration by the city unless the results of the postcard survey indicate that at least 50 percent of all property owners, residents and businesses along the street support the proposal. One postcard shall be sent to each owner of property along the street and to each address along the street, including each individual apartment, unit, room or suite number...
