NO NEW NAME FOR STREET
District Commissioners urge unfavorable action on a bill to rename Douglas street to Clifton. They argue the change would disrupt the established west side street nomenclature, create confusion, and not align with the preexisting system, noting Clifton already exists east of Fourteenth Street between Ghapin and Douglas. They recommend rejecting the measure.
