Resolution Approving the Secondary Street Name of NE 60th Street, between NE 18th Avenue and NE 14th Lane, to also be known as “Mary Cotton Drive” - (Commission District 1)

The City Commission is considering a resolution to give a secondary street name to NE 60th Street, between NE 18th Avenue and NE 14th Lane, in Commission District 1. The proposed secondary name is "Mary Cotton Drive." This item is currently under review and is pending a decision by the City Commission at its regular meeting on September 15, 2026. If approved, the project would involve the fabrication and installation of new street signs displaying the secondary name, likely along the specified segment of NE 60th Street. The work would also include updating any relevant city records, maps, and databases to reflect the new secondary street name. Local sign makers, street sign installers, and companies that provide signage and printing services could compete for this work. Reaching out to the city early, before the resolution is finalized and any bids are solicited, is the best way to be considered for this opportunity.
