Written requests for designation or dedication by name shall be considered by the Commission only under the following circumstances:

 

1.  The requested designation or dedication by name is intended as a memorial to an event, person, or persons of historical significance, or intended as an honor to a person or persons of national esteem;

 

2.  The request is accompanied by a resolution from the governing body of each local government entity, in which the building, bridge, interchange, highway or other structure requested for designation or dedication by name is located, recommending the designation or dedication and committing to install and to maintain the appropriate signs in accordance with the “Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices” at no cost to the Department;
