The subject street is an isolated, one block long stretch of Lafond Avenue, which runs easUwest. To the 9 east, across Rice Street, is Pennsylvania Avenue. To the west is the Como Avenue/Marion Street/Lafond Avenue 10 intersectioq beyond which is Scheffer Playground. Lafond may have, at one time, continued across what is now the I 1 playground. Lafond Avenue resumes on the west side of the playground at Galtier 5treet and continues several 12 miles to the west to its temvnus at Fairview Avenue. 13 2. According to Donald Empson's book On the Street Where You Live, Pennsylvania Avenue was named in 14 1856 for the state. Of Lafond Avenue, Empson writes that: 15 BenjaminLaFond (1819-1904) platted this street in 1857. HewasbominSt.Boniface, Canadaand 16 moved to Saint Paul in 1851 where he dealt in real estate with Auguste Larpenteur and Alexander Ramsey. I3is 17 numerous descendants still live within the city. 18 3. Although the nazne "Lafond" has a greater significance and relationship to the city's history than the name 19 "Pennsylvania", the proposed name change is a logical one because of the azrangement of streets in the area. The 20 subject stretch of street is a logical extension of Pennsylvania Avenue and is cut off from the rest of Lafond Avenue. 21 If the street name is changed, the vast majority of Lafond Avenue will remain, with name unchanged, in 22 recognition of the man who platted it. �t3- yS9 1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED, that based on the findings and recommendation of the Heritage 2 Presetvation Commission, the City Council approves the proposed street name change effective�`October i, 1995, nR(� Requested by Department ot By: App � � Form Approved by City Attomey I� Approved by Mayor for Submission to Council � Adopted by Council: Date ���� �� �S —� �� r Adoption Certified by Councii Secretary 9� = gsq N°_ 29907 city connaa Jzrry Blakey 265-8610 '9s !
