Decatur council adopts ordinance to rename East Business Highway 380 as Woodruff Way
Summary
On second reading the council approved Ordinance 2026-0719 to rename a city-maintained segment of East Business Highway 380 to Woodruff Way and authorized the city manager to arrange signage and execute necessary documents.
The council approved on second reading an ordinance to change the name of the roadway formerly designated East Business Highway 380 within the City of Decatur to Woodruff Way.
Staff noted there were no changes to the ordinance since the prior reading and explained that when the city took over maintenance responsibility for the former East Business Highway 380 a name change became necessary. A councilmember moved to approve Ordinance 2026-0719, the motion was seconded, and the mayor called the vote; members responded 'aye' and the ordinance passed.
The motion also authorized the city manager or the manager’s designee to erect new signage and execute the documents necessary to implement the ordinance. Staff said the change reflects the city’s maintenance responsibility for the roadway and honors the Woodruff family as explained in the packet materials.
