Item # 1 DISCUSSION REGARDING THE RENAMING OF 77TH STREET
Mayor Goettel stated she supported the renaming because it was appropriate timing with the
77th Street underpass project. She stated that Council Members Elliott and Garcia and Tim Carter as
a business representative supported the renaming.
The City Council suggested:
• Skyway Boulevard/Parkway
• Martin Sabo Boulevard
• Wold-Chamberlain Boulevard/Parkway
Council Member Sandahl stated there is a policy not tohname a street after someone still living
but Mr. Sabo, who had a significant impact in obtaining the 77th Street project funding, is retired from
public service and the City Council could make an exception.
The City Council directed staff to gain citizen input on the suggested names through Richfield
Connect and have discussions with impacted businesses, the Chamber of Commerce and the City of
Edina.
