n April 2, Colton City Council adopted a street naming policy which entails developers having to designate one street name (within the development) to be named after a good-will person from the city who has passed away.
“Prior to that time, the naming of streets, generally created through the approval of new subdivision maps, was conducted in accordance with informal guidelines created by the Public Works Department.

Developers would still be the initiator of street names, as long as they are consistent with the street naming policy; also, the planning commission may require that the city nominate and adopt one street name within a sub-division.
