After a second lengthy public hearing, Lexington City Council Thursday night voted 5-1 to approve the proposed policy for the renaming of city streets. Charles Alligood voted against the motion.
The motion included a commitment to place the policy on the Sept. 2 agenda for review. It is anticipated that the sole property owner on New Market Street will apply for changing the street’s name using this policy in the meantime, and that Council will have more information as a result.
As with the first public hearing on the policy, opinions were divided Thursday night, with a petition from 50 Ways Rockbridge urging Council to go ahead and rename five streets related to the Confederacy and another petition from homeowners on Jackson Avenue saying they were opposed to changing the name of their street.
The proposed new policy doesn't reference the Confederacy or any specific street to be renamed. It outlines a procedure for how City Council can consider renaming streets in a uniform manner. To start the process, an applicant for a name change must pay a $400 fee and present a petition with the signatures of at least 75 percent of property owners on the street supporting the change.
