REQUEST (CHANGE OF STREET NAME) On behalf of the Hugo Volunteer Fire Department, Fire Chief, Jim Wisner, requested that the City change the name of 147th Street from Geneva Avenue to Glenbrook Avenue in the Rice Lake Meadows subdivision to Upper 146th Street. The reasons for this request are as follows: 1. There is an intersection of 147th Street at T.H.61 north of the development which turns into Oneka Lako Blvd. Individuals looking for 147th Street naturally follow the Boulevard, and do not look for 147th Street to the south. 2. The alignment of Upper 146th Street is closer to this now than 147th Street.
