During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a resolution to rename Kate Todd Road to Long Pine Drive, set to take effect on January 2nd. The change aims to align with the town's newly established street naming policy, which prohibits naming roads after individuals. This decision, while respectful of the late Kay Todd, is part of a broader effort to standardize street names.
Town staff indicated that only two to three property owners would be affected by the name change. They assured that adequate time would be provided for these residents to update their addresses and related documentation. The town plans to notify relevant departments, including the local post office and emergency services, to facilitate a smooth transition.
While the town will cover the costs of new street signs, residents will need to manage the administrative burden of updating their personal information, such as bank accounts and identification documents. The council is expected to approve the resolution in a motion during their upcoming meeting.
