SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-059 Revising the List of Names for Arterial and Collector Streets.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to update the list of names for arterial and collector streets in accordance with City
Code Section 24-91.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Recommended New Names to be Added to the List
Staff recommends 40 new names be added to the list. Two years ago, during City Council discussion of the
naming Cordova Street and Harper Goff Alley and adding nine new names to the List of Names, City Council
directed staff to consider additional names that would specifically address the gender imbalance of the current
list of names. These recommended new names are a response to that request. This item also includes the
deletion of six names. The revised list that includes existing names, proposed names and deleted names is
attached. (Attachment 1)
Updating the List of Names Per City Code Section 24-91
City Code Section 24-91 requires that the names of arterial and collector streets be selected by City Council by
Resolution from the list of names for arterial and collector streets. The list of street names may also be
amended by Council to add additional names for consideration. Per City Code:
“The list of street names shall be composed of names of natural areas, natural features,
historic and/or well-known places, citizens of the City or Growth Management Area whom the
City Council would like to honor posthumously, and such other names of places, things or
deceased persons as the City Council may approve. With respect to citizens of the City whom
the City Council desires to honor posthumously, such citizens must have devoted much time
and effort to the City either as a former City officer or employee, a former Colorado State
University officer or employee, a person important in the founding of the City or a former
citizen of exemplary character deserving of special recognition.”
The list of names is updated by City Council Resolution periodically as needed in order to name new streets,
rename existing streets add new names and delete names already selected or found to be duplicates or
phonetic sound-alikes within Larimer County.

Item # 13 Page 2
Last Update - May 2017
On May 16, 2017, City Council adopted Resolution 2017-048 which accomplished the following:
• Named a new collector street in northeast Fort Collins “Cordova Street” in honor the contributions to our
community of six generations of the Cordova family.
• Named an improved downtown alley between Pine Street and Jefferson Street “Harper Goff Alley” in honor
of Harper Goff, a Fort Collins native, who, as a set designer for Walt Disney, used Downtown as a model
for Disneyland’s Main Street USA.
• Updated the List by adding the following nine names:
o Steely, William
o Isabelle Gavaldon (Name to be Isabelle at family’s request)
o Godinez
o Gallegos, Edward
o Sanchez, Tony
o Apodoca, Barney
o Beardmore, Dick
o Everitt, Robert
o Reidhead, Jim
• Deleted two names
o Suniga, Lee (selected)
o Glover, George (duplicate)
Other Action Required - Deleting Selected Names
In keeping the list of names properly updated, the Resolution includes deleting names that have been selected
or have been found to be duplicates or phonetic sound-alikes. (Note: emergency providers also respond to
building names.)
• Harper Goff - selected as public downtown alley.
• William Steely - selected as a local public local street in the Northfield Subdivision.
• Clara Hatton - duplicates a CSU building name at 200 E. Lake Street.
• Guy Palmes - duplicates an existing street name.
• Lawrence Durrell - duplicates the Durrell Center on CSU campus.
• Teller Ammons - duplicates Ammons Hall on CSU Campus.
Street Naming Background
The List of Names for Arterial and Collector Streets was first formed in 1985. The original list consisted of
names suggested only by the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University and there is no evidence of
any public outreach. The list lay dormant for years and was not utilized until 1999. Since 1999, it has been
updated by Council Resolution 11 times. Staff anticipates that continuous updates will be forwarded to Council
as the City continues to see development of large tracts of land such as Montava and Hughes Stadium and
annexations into the Growth Management Area, including the East Mulberry Corridor. A chronology of street
naming from 1999 to 2017 is attached. (Attachment 2 )
No Streets to be Named at this Time
There are no arterial or collector streets to be named at this time. (Three downtown alleys are to be named by
separate Resolution.) This action enriches the List of Names and will provide City Council a more diverse
selection process at the next naming opportunity. Council will be informed of any pending arterial or collector
street naming ahead of the agenda item summary in order to allow input and comment on the selection
Agenda Item 13
Item # 13 Page 3
process. Local streets in subdivisions under review may select a name from the List without Council action but
only as long as the street is not existing public right-of-way.
“Cherryhurst” is being added back on to the List. It was selected for use in the Waterfield Third Filing
Subdivision, but the name is being replaced by an extension of an existing street, “Turnberry Road” as a result
of an amendment to the Master Street Plan in conjunction with Waterfield Fourth Filing Subdivision.
(Attachment 3)
The standards for street naming are attached for reference. (Attachment 4)
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts in updated the List.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
In May 2017, City Council directed staff to reach out to the Women’s Commission to assist in the brainstorming
of new names. Members of the Women’s Commission participated in this latest effort as did members of the
Landmark Preservation Commission. The League of Women Voters also submitted names for the List.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public outreach for this round of new names consisted primarily of an ad hoc resident advisory committee
consisting of knowledgeable and interested individuals. As noted, City Council expressed that an emphasis be
placed on addressing the gender imbalance on The List. A variety of expertise and interests were represented
including members of the Women’s Commission and the Landmark Preservation Commission. Also included
were the current and former Fort Collins Discovery Science Museum Archivists as well as the CSU Vice
President for Diversity. Other members included local historians, historic preservation planners and current
and former city planners. With the challenge of addressing the gender imbalance, the committee researched
and discussed a number of new names as well as evaluating for compliance with City Code Section 24-91.
Input was also received from the League of Women Voters.
An advisory committee was also used in 2006 when the number of names was significantly reduced after an
analysis for duplicates and phonetic sound-alikes. This committee brainstormed the addition of 41 new
names; the last significant update to the List.
The new recommended names are being forwarded for inclusion based on solid research with individuals
having ties to the community, historic significance, exemplary character and for their contributions to public
service.

RESOLUTION 2019-059
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
REVISING THE LIST OF NAMES FOR ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR STREETS
WHEREAS, Section 24-91 of the City Code provides for the City Council to name
arterial and collector streets from a list of names selected by the City Council by resolution,
which list of names shall be composed of names of natural areas, natural features, historic and/or
well-known places, citizens of the City or growth management area whom the City Council
would like to honor posthumously, and such other names of places, things or deceased persons as
the City Council may approve; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the names “Harper Goff,” “William
Steely,” “Clara Hatton,” “Guy Palmes,” “Lawrence Durrell,” and “Teller Ammons” should be
removed from the City’s list of names for arterial and collector streets because such names have
already been used for alleys, non-arterial and collector streets, and buildings within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has further determined that the forty names listed in
Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, qualify for inclusion on
the list of arterial and collector street names in accordance with Section 24-91 and should be
included.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS as follows:
Section 1. That the City Council hereby makes and adopts the determinations and
findings contained in the recitals set forth above.
Section 2. That the list of names for arterial and collector streets be revised by the
removal of the names “Harper Goff,” “William Steely,” “Clara Hatton,” “Guy Palmes,”
“Lawrence Durrell,” and “Teller Ammons.”
Section 3. That the list of names for arterial and collector streets be revised by the
addition of the forty names listed in Exhibit “A”, and that the full list of names shown on Exhibit
“B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference shall be the approved arterial and
collector street names.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Fort Collins this 7th
day of May, A.D. 2019.
