Last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting in Westmoreland, marked one of the rare occasions when there’s a request to change the name of a road. The reasoning behind it was simple enough as there were already multiple roads with similar names that could cause some navigational nightmares.

The presentation was handled by Darrin Lee of the Land Use Administration, and dealt with the renaming of a private right-of-way off Bancton Road. Named Yeocomico Court at the time of the meeting, it’s located in the Kinsale Bluff subdivision. The request, which was approved, was for the name of the road to be changed to Demirkan Way. This would keep it from potentially being mixed up with Old Yeocomico Road and Yeocomico Lane.
