§ 723.05.

The legislative authority of a municipal corporation may, when there are two or more

streets, avenues, or alleys of the same name in the municipal corporation, by ordinance

and without petition therefor, change the name of any such street, avenue, or alley

so as to leave only one to be designated by the original name. When, in the opinion of the legislative authority, there is good cause for vacating

or narrowing a street or alley, or any part thereof, and that such vacation or narrowing

will not be detrimental to the general interest, it may, by ordinance and without

petition therefor, vacate or narrow such street or alley or any part thereof.  The original ordinance or a certified copy thereof shall be recorded in the official

records of the county recorder.
