SUBJECTS NAMING OF STREETS IN OAKLEY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I have had discussion with and
received the attached correspondence from Louise Allington of the
Brentwood Historical Society regarding the selection of steret names
for the rapidly-growing Oakley community.
I agree with her suggestion that builders use the family
names of those who have contributed to the history of -beautiful
Oakley. I feel this would be an appropriate way to recognize these
long-time residents who have contributed greatly to the Oakley
community.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ,, Refer to the Community Development
Director to communicate this good suggestion to the builders in the
Oakley area.
