Executive Summary
At the May 25, 2021 City Council meeting regarding the agenda item pertaining to the naming of the linear park to be constructed as part of the Creek District infrastructure improvements, Mayor Jones suggested an amendment to the park naming item to all establish names for the Via Vera Cruz bridge and Bent Avenue bridge over San Marcos Creek. As the agenda item in question was limited to the naming of the park, deferral of the item to a subsequent meeting was suggested. Mayor Jones then directed staff to bring a specific bridge naming item to the Council at the next Council meeting, which is this meeting.
Discussion
Mayor Jones suggested that the Via Vera Cruz bridge be named for Pia Harris and that the Bent Avenue bridge be named for Lionel “Doc” Burton.
Environmental Review
There are no environmental impacts associated with this matter.
Fiscal Impact
There are no fiscal impacts other than the cost of installing any signage denoting the naming of the bridges. Such costs will be appropriated before the expense is incurred.
