SU 13,1ECT: Byname for a Segment of St. Patrick Way
Prepared by.• Rhonda Franklin, ManagementAnalystll
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Agenda Item 4.6
The City Council will consider selecting a byname for the segment of St. Patrick Way in front of the
future Avalon West residential project between Golden Gate Drive and Regional Street to frame an
identity for this specific area and lend to its use for special events and linkage to the Downtown.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Select "St. Pat's Row" as the byname for the segment of St. Patrick Way in front of the future
Avalon West Residential Project between Golden Gate Drive and Regional Street.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
On May 1, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 41-18 approving a Community Benefit
Program Agreement between the City of Dublin and Bayview Development Group for the Avalon
West residential project (the agreement was subsequently assigned to Avalon West Dublin, L.P.).
The project consists of a 499-unit residential development and other site improvements at 6700
Golden Gate Drive.
The Community Benefit Program Agreement stipulated that, in addition to other requirements,
the developer would make enhancements and streetscape improvements to St. Patrick Way so
that the street can function as a usable space for special events and Downtown activation. An
example of events could include Farmers' Markets, festivals, and Makers' markets, with utilization
of food trucks and other mobile amenities.

Providing a byname for the segment of the street where such events would take place would help
create an identity for this specific area, lending to communal association and a sense of local
ownership among residents. The byname could be affectionately referred to in invitations, social
media posts, and directional references. This is similar to Village Parkway's byname as "The
Village."
At its February 15, 2023 Special Meeting, the Economic Development Committee was asked to
select a byname from two presented options or make an alternate selection. The options
presented, resulting from an internal poll, were "Paddy's Station" and "St. Pat's Row". The
Committee considered the options and, by consensus, recommended that the City Council approve
"St. Pat's Row" as the byname for the segment of St. Patrick Way to be used for special events.
As part of the streetscape improvements, a sidewalk monument sign with the byname would be
installed.
