Pleasant Street: What's in a Name?

For the second time in as many months Natick Selectmen will be discussing the problems that are created when two streets in town have the same name.

Residents of Pleasant Street, located near the intersection of Route 9 and Route 27, often get their mail confused with residents of Pleasant Street, in South Natick near the Sherborn town line.

Earlier in June the Selectmen held their first public hearing for the renaming of the Pleasant Streets. At that meeting they also discussed the two Lincoln Streets; renaming one South Lincoln Street and leaving the name of the other as Lincoln Street.

According to the Town of Natick website, the Selectmen will discuss renaming the different possibilities including: renaming just one street, using a completely different name for one or the other, or adding the word “North” or “South”, as applicable, after the word Street or maintaining the status quo.

What do you think one of the streets should be renamed? What would you suggest if you were living one of the Pleasant Streets?
