This is a request to change the name of the Westside Drive to be Wildcat Way. Westside Drive runs along Plano Senior High School, for which the mascot is the wildcat.
There are two addresses affected by this change, one for property owned by Plano Independent School District and the other for property owned by the City. The street name change has been reviewed by the Planning Department, the Police Department, Plano Fire-Rescue, and the Public Safety Communications Department.
Resolution 2001-9-30(R) established City policy to restrict street name changes to those necessary for public safety and as allowed by the Subdivision Ordinance. An amendment to that resolution is also on today’s agenda to also allow requests for renaming City streets upon written request of the federal, state, or county government or a school district, but each government entity may only make such a request no more than once every five years.
Approval of this item should be considered subject to approval of associated changes to Resolution 2001-9-30(R).
