Council holds first reading to rename section of East Business Highway 380 to Woodruff Way
Summary
Council took a first reading of an ordinance to change the name of a city-maintained section of East Business Highway 380 (from FM 51 North to Highway 380 East) to Woodruff Way, citing multiple Woodruff family memberspublic service. The item will return for final action at a future meeting.
Staff presented a first reading of an ordinance to rename the portion of East Business Highway 380 within Decatur city limits to Woodruff Way. Staff explained that the road segment—now under city maintenance following the Paloma Trails development—extends from FM 51 North to Highway 380 East, and that the change is required because the segment is now a city street.
Staff described the Woodruff family's long service to the community (including W.B. Woodruff as the city's 19th mayor and Martin Woodruff as the 26th mayor, and Mason Woodruff's current role on planning and zoning) and advised the council that, because this was a first reading, the ordinance will appear again for final action. Council members spoke in support of the name as fitting to the community.
