Board to solicit name suggestions for two unnamed roads at Northpointe campus, will submit top choices to city

Board members discussed naming streets within the Northpointe campus and directed staff to gather suggestions from residents and community members before submitting options to the city for formal approval.

Director Henke (board director) noted the district has three roads on the campus; although one main road has been informally called "Grizzly Way," the board must follow city guidelines to secure an official name. Henke said staff learned municipal rules include restrictions (for example, some municipalities prohibit "Saint" in street names) and proposed a community survey to collect suggestions. "We'll take kind of the top group of them and bring them to the board, and we'll vote on what we want and possibly have that for November," Henke said.

One board member said the district would submit "Grizzly Way" for approval because the road has already been called that informally. The board agreed to gather nominations, pick a top three, and then submit them to the city for final approval and signage installation.

Ending: Staff will survey Northpointe campus residents, return with the top suggested names for board consideration and submit board-selected options to the city for approval and street sign installation when permitted.
