Mayor Lioneld Jordan has joined with Holly as the co-sponsor of this Resolution. Holly has been working with Chief Reynolds on this renaming project to honor Officer Stephen Carr, an exemplary, brave and dedicated officer brutally murdered in an ambush while seated in his marked police vehicle parked behind the police station on December 7, 2019. This renaming, if approved by the City Council, will be an appropriate memorial to Officer Stephen Carr on the second anniversary of his tragic killing in the line of service. Our Street Naming Committee which ensures addresses will be easily understood and intelligible to Emergency Services has approved this proposed name change. GIS has provided the attached color map of where Porter Road would be changed to Stephen Carr Memorial Boulevard as it goes under 149. Holly and Chief Reynolds chose this site where the Memorial Boulevard runs past the new Police Headquarters before going under I49. The Arkansas Highway Department of Transportation's appropriate signage at this exit/ entrance to 149 will show Stephen Carr Memorial Boulevard. Chief Reynolds' promise that Stephen Carr will not be forgotten is ensured by this name change to Stephen Carr Memorial Boulevard. RESOLUTION NO.
