Council renames Shoal Creek Drive for firefighter Amanda Adams

The Orlando City Council unanimously adopted an ordinance to rename Shoal Creek Drive in the Lee Vista Center area to Amanda Adams Drive.

The name-change ordinance applies to a portion of Shoal Creek Drive described in the Lee Vista Center plat and was introduced and moved by Commissioner Tony Ortiz; Commissioner Pat Sheehan seconded the motion. The ordinance passed on the council floor during the hearing portion of the meeting.

Commissioner Ortiz spoke in support of the change, calling it “quite an honor” to have Amanda Adams’ name in District 2 and noting the district already has another roadway designation that recognizes a public-safety figure. The clerk read the ordinance language aloud during the hearing; the ordinance includes standard provisions for updating official city maps and records.

The measure will take effect on the date provided in the ordinance; for the exact effective date and map amendments, consult the city clerk’s published ordinance language and the official city maps.
