Lancaster Select Board renames municipal parking-lot street to 'Cecil Broome Way'
Summary
The Lancaster Select Board voted unanimously April 20 to rename the municipal parking-lot street on Bunker Hill Street from Harry S. Smith Drive to Cecil Broome Way after board members raised concerns about confusion with nearby Smith Place.
During department updates on April 20, Chair Kathy-Jean Lavoie raised concern that the newly named Harry S. Smith Drive would be confusing because Smith Place is directly across the street. Selectman Leon Rideout said an alternative name could be provided.
Rideout moved and Selectman Shane Beattie seconded a motion to rename the street from "Harry S Smith Drive" to "Cecil Broome Way." The motion carried with all members voting in favor.
Board members did not provide additional detail in the record about the origin of the new name. The change will be reflected in town records and signage as the town administrative process proceeds.
