Selectmen Consider Street Naming Policy

The Rehoboth Board of Selectmen are considering an official street naming policy. “I have no problems with people’s names being on streets,” Selectman Dave Perry said Monday. Perry wanted to make sure there weren’t multiple streets with the same name, which could impact emergency response from the fire and police departments.

Selectman Jim Muri volunteered to consult with the town planner on the street names before they are sent to the board for approval. Chairman Skip Vadnais said the board would solicit the input of the Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Board of Assessors before revisiting the subject.

The Board also accepted the resignation of Bill Maiorano, the Director of REMA. Muri noted Maiorano was a “huge asset to this town.”
