The Planning and Development Department has received a request to rename Elder Street to Mentor Way (see enclosed map). The location is along Elder Street, between Franklin Street and Washington Avenue. This name change will not affect any site address numbering.
The application meets the requirements set out in Chapter 41 of the Code of Ordinances.
The Planning and Development Department has notified HPD, HFD, CenterPoint Energy, AT&T, Greater Harris County 911, Houston Emergency Center, and USPS for comments. None of these agencies have voiced objections. The proposed street name follows the City’s street name change procedures and standards.
The Planning and Development Department recommends City Council approve an ordinance to change the name of Elder Street to Mentor Way.
