Executive Summary (General Business): Request to rename the Paar Drive right-of-way to Hegener Drive, and to rename the Hegener Drive right-of-way to Tom Mackie Boulevard, as depicted on the attached maps.
Presentation Information: Staff may make a brief presentation if Council desires one.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve Ordinance renaming the Paar Drive Right-of-way to Hegener Drive and renaming the existing Hegener Drive right-of-way to Tom Mackie Boulevard, providing for conflict, providing for severability, and providing and effective date.

Background: Paar Drive has been the name identified with the East-West No. 4 roadway within Southern Grove and continuing west through Riverland and Wilson Groves DRIs terminating at Rangeline Road (approximately 4.6 miles). It was designated as Paar Drive due to the originally proposed overpass at Interstate 95 which would have connected this road segment to the existing Paar Drive on the east side of I-95. The City’s Comprehensive Plan was recently amended to remove the proposed overpass, hence this road will not connect to Paar Drive east of I-95. At the current time, approximately 0.8 miles of Paar Drive from Anthony F. Sansone Sr Boulevard west to the entrance of the Kenley neighborhood is being constructed. Without the overpass, there would be extreme confusion with having the same roadway name on opposite sides of I-95 with no actual connection. For this reason Paar Drive within the Southwestern Annexation Area is proposed to be renamed to Hegener Drive. The Hegener Drive road name was used on Southern Grove Plat No. 26, recorded in Plat Book 84, Page 36, also known as RW-1, and this is the road section proposed to be renamed to Tom Mackie Boulevard to avoid confusion.
Issues/Analysis: This Ordinance is being advanced at the direction of the City Council.
