In what has been an ongoing feud between Stapleton Residents and Forrest City with the City of Denver, an agreement has finally been reached to begin renaming streets that have the same name but either have “court” or “street” after them. Residents have missed packages, have had friends miss parties, and have even gone to the wrong home after a late night at the Berkshire.
“We hate having to write on every invitation ‘Clinton Street NOT Clinton Way,’” says Clinton St. resident Annette Coffee. “It is extremely annoying. Especially since everyone knows what blow-hard’s Clinton Way residents are.”
The City of Denver and Forrest City had no reason for the duplicate street names except to say that “it was most likely out of laziness.” Forrest City president Phil Dargossi says that they are spearheading street naming contests immediately. “We know this community loves a good contest,” says Dargossi. “We will allow residents to submit their ideas and then, as usual in Stapleton, we will take a simple vote.”
The biggest thing on the table prior to renaming the streets is which street must change its name. Those who live on “courts,” “ways,” or “avenues” believe they should remain, and streets should be renamed. Akron Street resident Brenna Breedlove disagrees. “We are already named correctly,” says Breedlove. “Plus, everyone knows people who live on a court are nothing more than white trash.”
Dargossi says that he will work with the MCA and SUN to make the decision on what streets will change and what will remain. One thing is for certain, the biggest winners in this are the fine drivers for UPS and FedEx.]]>
