<br />for a change of a street name on a case by case basis; and
<br />
<br />Whereas
<br /> currently, approval of changing the name of a street requires a proper Board of
<br />,

<br />affect the health, safety or welfare of the citizens of the City of South Bend”; and

<br />
<br />
<br />,
<br />Whereas
