For Meeting of: April 21, 2015 City Manager Upload Date Type 4/16/2015 Cover Memo Yakima City Council Proposal Guy oj.° "'L,AN ii jr VEp The council has approved street names that probably only favored a minority of the community. 1 believe it leaves a glaring void in not showing the memory of one of the most admired Presidents. Ronald Reagan. I would propose "Reagan Blvd" be added to 1' street. It wouldn't be necessary to eliminate 1' and business could choose the name preferred. There are signal poles with plenty of room for a sign next to the four signals. It wouldn't be distracting and wouldn't involve new poles. The cost would be reasonable and 1 would think service organizations and stores on 1" would be contributors. 1 would suggest this would include the lighted intersections from union Gap to the last light on N.1". Thank you for consideration. Ken Gustafson 3601 Fairbanks H 125 Yakima wa . 457 6248 t April 8, 2015 (;'0M `/NIfl I)@; v`ELOPMEN"t DEPARTMENT 129 North Second Street, 2nd Floor, Yakima, Washing?

Your letter proposed we add "Reagan Boulevard" to the name of 1st Street for the length of the corridor within the City of Yakima. Thank you for taking my call yesterday (April 7, 2015) so we had the chance to talk about this idea. You indicated that you understood the concern of potential addresses on the same street either noting "Reagan Blvd" or "First Street" for the approximately 400 businesses that may be impacted by this modification, as well as the cost of the project. You graciously withdrew this suggestion, but requested that the City Council consider future opportunities for project/site naming in honor of this popular former president. I will convey this request to the City Manager, Mayor and City Council. Thank you for taking the time to write to us and your interest in our community. Sincerely, avenport.
