Title
RECOMMENDATION FOR STREET NAME FOR PRIMARY EAST-WEST PUBLIC STREET ON THE FORMER CAL COMPACT LANDFILL SITE, NOW DISTRICT AT SOUTH BAY
Body
I. SUMMARY
The current name for the primary east-west public street in the 157 acre site, the former Cal Compact Landfill, is Stadium Way, named in anticipation of Carson being awarded the right to construct an NFL stadium with the Chargers and the Raiders football teams. The historic name for the street, when it operated as a landfill, was Lenardo Drive. Now that the Los Angeles Premium Outlets is under construction, it is imperative that a name reflecting the site as a retail destination be selected, to allow the developers to begin to use it in their early promotional materials for leasing and for other way-finding.
II. RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
1. CONSIDER the list of proposed street names for Stadium Way or discuss other appropriate, project-driven names.
2. RECOMMEND to the City Council that they officially rename Stadium Way to the selected name.
