Residents along part of County Road 101 could soon have a new street name and new 911 addresses.
The Celina City Council is set to vote Tuesday, Oct. 13, on a resolution renaming the road to Massey Drive from its intersection with North Coit Road east to a parcel the resolution identifies by county property number. The item is on the consent agenda for the 5 p.m. meeting at 112 N. Colorado St.
City staff tie the change to development in the Ramble neighborhood near County Road 101. A memo from GIS Director Ogi Colakovic says the new name matches the city's Master Thoroughfare Plan and that renaming county roads as development arrives is standard practice.
Two approvals needed
Because this stretch lies partly in the city and partly in the county, Collin County Commissioners Court must also approve the change. The resolution sets an effective date of Oct. 23, pending county approval in October. Street signs would be replaced and property owners along the road notified.
A staff presentation lays out how that works on a road the two governments share. The city notifies residents inside city limits, the county notifies those in the extraterritorial jurisdiction, and new 911 addresses are issued. Former addresses stay valid in postal systems for one year. Staff list faster emergency response, consistent addressing and better mapping and delivery as reasons for converting county road names.
