Wicomico Council Reviews Honorary Street Naming Policy

SALISBURY – A new policy is expected to establish criteria and an application process for honorary street signs.

Last week, the Wicomico County Council reviewed a new policy and application for honorary street signs.

Officials first initiated a discussion on the benefits of a street naming policy last July, after it was realized the county had no guidelines for dedicating a county road to an individual.

“The council does get requests from time to time to dedicate a road to a certain individual,” Council President John Cannon said last year. “We recognize we really don’t have a policy and we really hate to do it ad hoc because as soon as you make one appointment then you will probably be inundated with two or three more.”

To that end, council staff began reviewing policies from other jurisdictions and working on a document that outlines the purpose of and process for honorary street signage.

Enough of the street renaming, already. The next generation won't have a clue who any of those people were, nor will they bother to find out.

Let me guess they want to name a street after Omar or Cortez?? Or maybe a African American of their choice to pacify the welfare citizens who outnumber the working folks. What am I saying it has to be for an Al Sharpton Blvd or April Jackson WAY
