<br />
<br /> "At its regular monthly meeting on May 6, 1975, the City Planning Commission renewed
<br />its recommendation ~hat Elmhurs~ Lane be e~te~ded iN name across the Seaboard RailrOad tracks
<br />to join the parallel service road along Interstate 264 whizh ultimately links with the re-
<br />sidue of Alexander Street. The effect of this change would extend Elmhurst Lane from Park
<br />Manor past Manor High School and through the Hatton~ville Non-residential Corridor to Victory
<br />Boulevard where it would terminate at.the main entrance to Tower Mall Shopping Center. (This
<br />Planning Commission recommendation was first introduced to Cify Council as Item 7-13 of the
<br />1972-77 Capital Improvements Program which was gpproved on August 8~ 1972.)
<br />
<br /> Th~ Planning Commissio~ also re~olved to recommend that Rapidan Street between Elrmhurst
<br />Lane and Interstate 264 at'Belmont Avenue be changed to Alexander Street. This would honor
<br />the individual after whom Alexander Street was na~ed~ and eliminate confusion growing out of
<br />the permanent void in Rapidan Street created by-Interstate 264. No.address changewwould be
<br />involved in eliminating this segment of Rap~dan Street.
<br />
<br /> In both cases, the Planning Commission is supported by recommendations of the House
<br />Number and Street Name Clarification Committee. Established by the City. Manager and directed
<br />to conduct research on confusion which impairs the orderly provision of public safety ser-
<br />vices, this Committee is well along in preparing i~s initial ~eport. (This special committee
<br />consistB of municipal, school, postal and ChamBer of Commerce offici,als~) Neither the. Com-
<br />mission nor the Committee anticipates any problem growing out of these two s~r~et name change
