The name of a street may be changed to avoid potentially confusing duplications. The
applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the actual installation of new or
changed street name signs. Information regarding these costs can be obtained from the
Streets Department at 970-221-6615.
The applicant must submit a letter to the Engineering Department requesting the
proposed name change. The following procedure should be followed in changing a street
name.
Step One -Application
The applicant submits one copy of a letter that includes the following information:
A. Name of the subdivision, PUD, or PDP in which the street to be renamed is located;
B. Existing and proposed street name;
C. Reason for requesting street name change;
D. Evidence that all affected property owners on the subject street have been notified
and are in agreement with the street name change.
Section 24-91 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins provides for a list of eligible names
approved by the City Council from which new arterial and collector street names must be
chosen.
Step Two - Review
The street name change request is routed by City staff to all affected City departments
and agencies for their review and comments. Approximately two weeks later, the review
comments are sent back to staff. If there are any problems, staff contacts the applicant to
coordinate any necessary changes. If there are not problems with the request, City staff
prepares a written report for review by the City Council at their next regularly scheduled
business meeting (first or third Tuesday of every month). The City Council may approve
or deny the street name application.
Step Three - Follow-up
If approved by the City Council, staff will contact the necessary City departments and
agencies and inform them of the street name change so that sign changes can be made.
The costs for making new signs will be charged to the applicant requesting the street
name change.
