Resolution Supporting Dual Naming a Portion of SE 11th Avenue after Dr. Cullen Wadsworth Banks II (B)
This is a request for the City Commission to adopt a resolution to dual name a portion of SE 11th Avenue in memory of Dr. Cullen Wadsworth Banks II.
Explanation
The City Commission requested staff review the consideration of dual naming SE 11th Avenue between SE 15th Street and Williston Road (SE 11th Street) after Dr. Cullen Wadsworth Banks II. The request to dual name SE 11th Avenue after Dr. Banks meets the criteria established in the Policy for Honorary Street Naming Dual Naming City Streets in that Dr. Banks was a significant contributor to the Gainesville community and SE 11th Avenue in particular is where Dr. Banks' home was located. In order to properly fit a name on the sign plate staff recommends the dual name be 'Dr. Cullen W. Banks II Boulevard'.
Fiscal Note
The fiscal impact associated with this request is $250, the cost of materials and labor to install five signs along SE 11th Avenue.
Recommendation
The City Commission adopt the Resolution supporting the request to dual name a portion of SE 11th Avenue between SE 15th Street and Williston Road as 'Dr. Cullen W. Banks II Boulevard'.
