County to develop policy for naming bridges

San Diego County will be developing a policy for naming bridges in the unincorporated areas.

A 5-0 San Diego County Board of Supervisors vote June 20 directed the county’s chief administrative officer to amend existing county policies to provide a definition of a proposed process and to develop proposed criteria for the board of supervisors to approve. The chief administrative officer was directed to return the proposed amendments to the county supervisors within 180 days.

The county has policies relating to the naming of county buildings and facilities, but no specific authority exists for the naming of bridges in unincorporated San Diego County. The lack of such a policy was discovered after the Ramona Community Planning Group discussed the possibility of naming a bridge after a longtime community member who died in 2015.

County staff will develop a proposed policy which would provide communities with a process to name a bridge. The board of supervisors would have the ultimate authority, but the community will lead the process to request the naming of a bridge.

“I look forward to seeing the results back in 180 days,” Supervisor Dianne Jacob said.
