The decision is final: Hunter Road will remain Hunter Road as it stretches eastward toward downtown, until it reaches the intersection with San Antonio Street.
City Council held a public hearing and a vote on a proposed ordinance that would change the street name of Hunter Road between Wonder World Drive and West San Antonio Street to West Hopkins Street. The rationale, according to the city agenda, would be to “eliminate multiple street names along the continuity of a single street.”
City planning chief Shannon Mattingly gave a staff presentation on the proposal. According to the agenda, staff looked into changing the street name when council was discussing a speed limit change on that stretch of road and “directed staff to review the possibility of a street name change as a better transition into the West Hopkins Street residential area.”
