§ 17-3. Street naming  


Latest version.
  • (a) Every street and road, both public and private, shall be assigned a name. If necessary, this will be done at first by the Colchester 9-1-1 Committee and after public input with final approval by the board of selectmen.

    (b) In the future any new development must meet the guidelines of this chapter.

    (c) All road names must be a separate and distinct name. No two (2) roads can have the same or similar sounding names. No new road can have any currently used name in the Town of Colchester. Furthermore, the board of selectmen may change the names of the streets, both public and private, (after duly warned public hearings) within the town when necessary to promote public welfare and safety.
