Parks committee approves naming back access road near Speedway 'Justin Owens Lane'
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Committee approved a request to name a previously unnamed back road that leads to the Speedway as Justin Owens Lane; the racing community will pay for the sign and plans a dedication event.
The Lawrenceburg Parks and Recreation Committee voted to approve a request to name an unnamed back access road that runs to the Speedway as "Justin Owens Lane." The requester said the racing community will provide and pay for the street sign and may host a dedication event.
The item was brought to the committee by Mayor Kelly Malone, who said a group involved with Speedway racing asked whether the city had objections to a naming and noted they would purchase the sign. Committee members discussed sign placement and visibility, suggesting placement near the recycling area or at the intersection that serves as the entrance to the racetrack's back side.
Several members clarified that a prior dataset listed a similar name as "JR Todd Lane," and the committee corrected a misprint of the honoree's first name in the packet materials from "Jesse" to "Justin." The committee approved the naming by voice vote; staff will coordinate sign location with the requester and city crews.
