Title: To name an approximate 1/10 of a mile, previously unnamed alley, between Hunter Avenue and the first unnamed alley west of North High Street, as Amweg Alley.
Explanation
 
The Department of Public Service, Division of Planning and Operations recently received a request from Mr. Jeremy Amweg to name an approximate 1/10 of a mile, previously unnamed alley, between Hunter Avenue and the first unnamed alley west of North High Street, as Amweg Alley.  
 
The aforementioned request is in honor of his father, Mr. Rick Amweg, who for more than 29 years, served as a patrol officer and later, as Assistant Chief of Police for the Ohio State University Police Department, Director of the Public Safety Administration for The Ohio State University, and served as the Public Information Officer for the Department of Public Safety of The Ohio State University. The proposed name, Amweg Alley, conforms to the Division's current street naming policies and has been reserved until such time that this request has been completed, or denied.  The Right-of-Way Management Section has circulated concurrent notification to the City's Historic Preservation Office; the University Area Commission; and Divisions of Fire, Police, Refuse, Street Maintenance and Planning and Operations without objection.  
 
Mr. Jeremy Amweg has satisfactorily completed all of the requirements for the naming of a city street and has agreed to pay associated cost for installing new signs reflecting said street name at the required (3) locations of  Hunter Avenue, College Avenue and the first unnamed alley west of North High Street.
