Barrett Su: Namingthe Waterfront Over the past month or so, m have been dealing w0h die issue of selecting a name for our Waterfront project and potentially finding a new name for Railroad/Front Street. This has Included seeking are opinions of the members of the Council as well as the public. At our recent neighborhood meetings, for a mple, Mose who attended were asked to indicate their preferences if they desired. Attadred, please find a summary of the responses we have received W date. The first column indicates the rank order preferences of the fwe members of the Council who responded to our request to rank the names (from 1(highest) M three or five for the street and project respectively). The column to the right of the list of names shows the suggestions that were received from the members of the public who attended the neighborhood meetings. Please now that we received ten responses. I have also included in this column the top priority Choices from prior Councilors Crowley, Farnham, and Rohman who completed a similar form M about the time that they left the Council. We also received two email responses which are included at the bottom of the summary. 9tU)Iti��Llulxy The following project names received at least one first place rating by members of the Council: • Bangor Wnding • Bangor WatertroM (2) • Pmobscot Heritage Park • Pembsrot Lending •-Riverhont Park Of these, the first three were also recommended by one citizen each. The following project -names were recommended by.2 or mom cidzens:-- — • Bangor Riverfront Park Port Bangor • Queen City Wnding ,cam The following street names received at least one first place rating by members of the Council: Landing River (2) Riverfront Waterfront Three citizens recommended Riverpark. Please note that a number of suggestions came from ddzens of names that were net on the list. The vertical features planned for the enhance to the waterfront and M be located at Main and Railroad have provisions for including the project name on them. We have the construction of Mese features on fold, pending resolution of the naming issue. We are approaching the point where a name must be selected won if we are to have these features built and installed this year. At this p iM, I would recommend MM the committee attempt W develop a short list of project and street names for consideration by the full Coundl. For project names, I would suggest Mat we begin with dose that appear to have support from members M the Council or the public. These would include: • Bangor Landing • Bangor Waterfront (2) • Penobscot Heritage Park • Penobscot landing • Rivernont Park • Bangor Rlverfront Park • Port Bangor • Queen City Landing Similarly, the following Street names appeared to have wine support: River ._.River(g (2) Rivefiant WaMrfroM • Riverpark As a suggestion, the Committee might wish to reduce these lists W We potential project names and three street names for further consideration by the Council, perhaps at the upcoming workshop scheduled with representatives M our consulting firm.
