AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: September6, 2005
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Ted Shepard
SUBJECT
Resolution 2005-095 Renaming Coffey Parkway to William Neal Parkway and Revising the List
of Names for Arterial and Collector Streets Accordingly.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Changing a street name requires the passage of a resolution by City Council. The City has been
asked to rename "Coffey" Parkway to "William Neal" Parkway as a memorial to William L.
Neal. This street is located in Rigden Farm and a major segment has recently been constructed.
As a collector street, the name must be selected from the official list approved by Council in
accordance with Section 24-91 of the City Code. A resolution adding the name of William L.
Neal to this list has also been prepared for Council's consideration.
BACKGROUND
The renaming from "Coffey" to "William Neal" depends on Council taking affirmative action on
the preceding resolution that adds the name William L. Neal to the official list. Should this
action be affirmed, then the name Tom Coffey will be returned to the list as an eligible name for
a collector or arterial. There is no cost to the City of changing the existing street signs since this
is a specific request from the developer.
There are two affected dwelling units under construction and unoccupied. The owner of these
units, Melody Homes, has been contacted and has no objection to the proposed name change. In
addition, the developer of Rigden Farm, Wheeler Realty, has notified all other home builders in
the subdivision and there are no objections.
