Commission approves renaming Coach Williams Way to Coach Jonathan Williams Way
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a motion to rename Coach Williams Way to Coach Jonathan Williams Way after remarks from former Mayor Harvey noting the community and historical ties.
The commission voted unanimously on a motion to rename an existing street sign from "Coach Williams Way" to "Coach Jonathan Williams Way."
Former Mayor Harvey urged the commission to add the coach’s first name to the sign to avoid confusion among many residents with the Williams surname and to honor the coach’s legacy. "I remember the coach, Jonathan Williams, sat here for a long time on this commission," Harvey said.
A commissioner moved to rename the street and the motion carried by a show of hands without recorded opposition.
Staff will complete sign changes and any administrative updates required to reflect the new name in municipal records.
