Report of the Joint Standing Committee on Ordinances on the Nomenclature of Streets (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Unearth Boston’s street map through a careful look at naming and change. This nonfiction work examines how the city sought to distinguish streets with overlapping names, proposing a system that adds locality to each name and limits duplications. It also reviews petitions from residents and lawyers about the risks of changing long‑standing street names, and it outlines practical steps for a more permanent, rule‑driven process.
The document presents concrete recommendations for how streets should be named or renamed, who should decide, and when the changes take effect. It argues for a stable, citywide approach that reduces confusion in property records and helps investigators track streets over time.
- How duplications arise and why a clear rule helps avoid confusion in land titles.
- Proposed roles for the Street Commissioners and the Board of Aldermen in approving names.
- Suggested timing for new names to appear in city directories.
- A plan to study and resolve remaining duplications with a small, appointed committee.
Ideal for readers interested in urban history, municipal governance, and the evolution of Boston’s streets.
