Summary

The City Council adopted ordinance 2025-6 to rename Speedway Drive to J R Todd Lane and to change Primrose Street to Primrose Drive; one council member abstained because he lives on Primrose.

The City Council adopted ordinance 2025-6 changing the names of two roadways within city limits. Under the ordinance, Speedway Drive will be renamed J R Todd Lane and Primrose Street will be renamed Primrose Drive.

Council members discussed that county and state records had previously used the alternate designation and that the city needs an ordinance to instruct state and county agencies to follow the name changes. One council member said his deed and street signs had long shown “Primrose Drive” and he planned to abstain from the vote due to the personal connection.

Council voted to adopt the ordinance after a roll call; one abstention was recorded (Councilperson Tom Rivett/owner of property on Primrose), and the clerk confirmed the ordinance was approved and adopted.
