   (c)   After notification is sent to all property owners, the request will be forwarded to the Traffic Commission for its review and recommendation.
   (d)   The recommendation of the Traffic Commission will be forwarded to Council. After reviewing the recommendation, Council may pass a resolution designating the existing street with the requested commemorative name.
