Roads having different names in different areas may be standardized. Other confusing situations may also be changed as deemed necessary by the city. Names for new or renamed roads will conform to the guidelines set forth in this chapter and be approved by the city. Names should be pleasant sounding, appropriate, easy to read and pronounce (so that the public, and children in particular, can handle the name in an emergency situation). Duplication of names shall not be allowed. Similar sounding names are considered duplication regardless of spelling. A continuous road or one proposed to be continuous should bear the same name throughout, even though it changes direction. No separate names are to be used for a cul-de-sac or short lane or private road of less than three lots. An exception may be made if a subdivision is anticipated. When two differently named roads connect at a point which is not at an intersection, there shall be defined a definite point where one ends and the other begins. Existing roads now carrying more than one name shall be changed to the name under which the road travels the longest distance or has the most addresses. The choice for the name shall be the responsibility of the city and shall be decided upon by determining which name change impacts the least number of addresses, unless a different name is deemed desirable.
