AGENDA
1. Rename Street – Proposed Renaming of a Portion of Union Street, Under Joshua
Chamberlain Bridge
(Memo Attached)
John provided the Committee with the background for the request to rename the portion of Union
Street located under the Joshua Chamberlain Bridge. And explained notices were sent to abutters
and business/tenants the associated location. There was discussion about GPS and Google’s
placement of the address being on the bridge as opposed to under.
Businesses were near a 50/50 split on renaming the location to Union Street Plaza. One business
owner stated he had been using Union Plaza since 1997, while others used Union Street. Those
opposed to the renaming sited potential future confusion with those whom they do business with
and mail delivery services and utility companies.

Plaza
One Opposed: Councilor Durgin; remaining Councilors in approval.
