Athens City Code

1. (1) The city has established an official system of street names in the city as shown on a map of record in the city manager's office. The map is entitled "Street Map, Athens, Tennessee," and is dated April 1, 1962. It is incorporated herein and made a part of this section by reference.
2. (2) The names of streets in the city shall remain as shown on the map unless officially changed by ordinance.
3. (3) No new streets shall be accepted by the city nor any municipal improvements made therein until such streets have been named. When new streets are extensions of existing streets, the existing names shall be continued; if not extensions, they shall be given names which neither duplicate nor closely approximate street names already assigned.
