City considers renaming southeast street names to standard indices
An ad hoc citizens committee appointed by the City Council proposes 11 southeastern city roadways be renamed to fit broader naming patterns. Changes would extend Hotle Drive and Perdock Court paths into South 10th and East Jackson Street, while Paramount Drive and Walton would join South 11th and South 15th respectively. Paradise Drive and the west Perdock Court road would remain unchanged. The plan aims to reduce confusion and aid emergency services, with a public hearing and final council approval pending.
