EXPLANATION OF REQUEST: In 1998, the Boynton Beach City Commission named the alley that runs east and west, between N.E. 4th Sreet and Federal Highway (behind Hurricane Alley) as Barrista Way. This was done in order to recognize Café Barrista located on Ocean Avenue.
Café Barrista is long gone and, as such, City Staff has evaluated a new request to rename this alley as "Hurricane Alley". Staff recommends this action, particularly in light of the fact that the Hurricane Alley restaurant will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this summer.
Naming an alley is not problematic for the provision of city services. Adjacent properties do not use the alley for addressing purposes. Therefore, naming an alley is entirely ceremonial in nature.
