Highway revisited:* *By Daily Press staff* A small stretch of road leading into Santa Monica could soon be named “Homeless Haven Hill,” “Bum Boulevard,” or “Re-Elect Bush in 2004 Street.” Regardless of whether or not the monikers are representative of Santa Monica, City Hall will consider each next week anyway. Residents were asked last year to offer suggestions on what to call the access road to the PCH, located between Palisades Beach Road and Ocean Avenue. Nearly 100 ideas were forwarded — some serious, others not so much. Among the submissions: A pair for “Bloom Way,” in honor of current mayor Richard Bloom; five for “647(f)” — the California penal code violation for drunk in public, honoring the city’s homeless population; “Pothole Place” and “Liberal Lane” — referring to the city’s political leanings. The road was once called State Route 187\. City Hall asked residents in December and January to submit their entries through an online poll promoted through the Internet and the city’s television show, “Santa Monica Update.” City staff plan to present the list to the City Council for consideration next Tuesday. The council can either direct staff to use one of the suggested names, one of its own or narrow the list further and conduct an online poll. The one-block street, which currently contains no addresses, could be named to honor someone in the community or a shared community value. The following is a list of suggestions: “Crespi,” after the man who named the city Jesse Jackson Boulevard John Jalili Way 647(f), in honor of all the homeless, (five submittals) Judge Leventen Way Karl Marx Way 9/11 Way Lands End Acacia Road Liberal Lane Arcadia Road Little Short Street Near the Pier Marathon Path (two suggestions) Avenida Carrillo Mariners Avenue of the Pacific Mel Gibson & Danny Glover Street Bad Paving Street Rough Road Memory Lane Pothole Place, Roller Coaster Ride Mermaid Drive Blanch Carter Way Mira Aqua Way Bloom Way (two submittals) Monica Avenue /Monica Street, after the patron saint “Santa,” which means “Saint Monica.” Bluff Drive Breeze Street Bum Boulevard Moomat Ahiko Way (”Breath of the Ocean” in Chumash) (two suggestions) Chris Volaski Street Clearwater Parkway Moonlight Drive Coastal Drive Ocean Front Incline Communist Way Ocean Incline Daylight Drive Ocean View Drive Dennis Rodman Way Ocean Way Diebenkorn Way Oceanview Road Dolphin Way Ola Way Entrada De Santa Monica, which means entrance of Santa Monica Opal Road (Ocean-Palisades-Road) Pacific Gateway Avenue Essie Tucker Lane Pacific Pass Frank Gehry Drive Pacific View Way Freedom Way Palisade Incline Drive Grand Boulevard PCH-Ocean Connector Hasta La Vista Boulevard, a reference to the new governor.
