RECOMMENDATION
The purpose of this discussion is to ,consider the attached Ordinance amending Chapter
54 of the Code of the City of Miami by amending Section 54-130 entitled "Names of
drives and roads" by changing the name of Southwest 15 Road between Southwest 11
Street and Brickell Avenue to Broadway.
JUSTIFICATION
Southwest 15 Road was created by the platting of a subdivision in September, 1911. The
original name of this roadway shown on the recorded plat was "Broadway". Subsequent
to the recording of the plat, the City Commission adopted a unified street numbering
system for all City roadways and Broadway became known as Southwest 15 Road. The
City has received a request from property owners to rename Southwest 15 Road back to
its original historic name of Broadway.
Unlike a street codesignation, this request is for an entire name change of a roadway, and
as such, official mailing addresses and all legal documentation must reflect the proposed
new name, including all utility and government accounts, records and signage. Existing
name association with this roadway will be lost and the effect on the conduct of business
may be considerable.
Article IV of Chapter 54 of the City Code entitled "Naming of streets and numbering of
buildings" establishes the names of City streets. If the City Commission determines it is
advisable, and in the best interest of the general welfare of the City and its residents, to
change the name of this roadway, an Ordinance amending Chapter 54 of the City Code
must be adopted.
FISCAL IMPACT: The expenses incurred by the City associated with this name
change include an advertising cost of $500.00 and, if approved, changing street
identification signs at nine (9) intersections at an estimated cost of $2,250.00.
