Summary

Choctaw County commissioners approved renaming Turtle Street (off County Road 2 in Aquila) to Luther Dozier Drive to reduce delivery confusion with a similarly named road.

The Choctaw County Commission approved renaming a small road off County Road 2 in Aquila from "Turtle Street" to "Luther Dozier Drive" (spelled D-O-Z-I-E-R) and authorized updates to the CAD and sign installation.

Commissioner Dahlgren said the change was requested because a road in Mary is called Turtle Road and delivery services had been using the wrong street. "They want to rename the road to be Luther Dozier Street or Luther Dozier Drive," Dahlgren said, and asked the 9-1-1 director to update the CAD system and the county engineer to order and install the new sign. The commission made the motion, received a second and voted to approve the change.

Ending: The commission directed the 9-1-1 director to update the county CAD system and authorized the county engineer to order and install the new sign.
