Committee agrees to amend street‑naming ordinance to add memorial sign reading 'Isaac Matthew Moore Way'
Summary
Members agreed to amend Ordinance 7‑2025—on third reading—to add a brown memorial sign under the Simpson Avenue street sign at Galbreth & Simpson reading "Isaac Matthew Moore Way" rather than renaming the street; staff will update the legislation before the next council third reading.
The committee discussed and agreed to amend Ordinance 7‑2025 so that it adds a memorial sign—rather than renaming Simpson Avenue—reading "Isaac Matthew Moore Way" beneath the Simpson Avenue sign at the corner of Galbreth and Simpson. Members debated the sign location and whether to include a middle initial or full middle name; the family asked for the full middle name and the chair said she would change the ordinance body and title to say "Isaac Matthew Moore" before the third reading.
Councilors said a memorial brown-and-white sign beneath the street sign would avoid changing postal addresses or requiring residents and businesses to update records. Committee members noted similar memorial signs exist elsewhere in Hamilton County and suggested using the Avenue of Champions installation as a model for placement and appearance.
What’s next: staff will update the ordinance language and title to specify a memorial sign and the spelling "Isaac Matthew Moore" and bring the amended legislation to the full council for the upcoming third reading.
