SUBJECT: Street Name Change for E. Addison Dr. - Estancia Subdivision
1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF CONCERN
We have been notified by the Meridian Police Department of a recent
emergency call being dispatched to an incorrect address, due to the sound-
alike street names of E. Addison Dr. (located in the Estancia Subdivision}
and E. Addeson St. (located in the Bedford Place Subdivision). While in
this particular instance, a major delay was averted because the responding
officer lived in the subdivision and knew the dispatched information to be
incorrect, we aze concerned that response time for future "emergency
service" calls to these areas could be delayed due to confusion over the
similar street names.
2. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
It is our recommendation, along with that of the Ada County Street Name
Committee, that E. Addison Dr., located in the Estancia Subdivision, be
changed to E. Adelaide Dr.
3. DETERNIINING FACTORS
The recommendation to change E. Addison Dr., as opposed to E. Addeson
St, comes after review of the following factors:
a. 28 existing homes are located along E. Addeson St. (12
homes in Bedford Place Subdivision #1 and 16 homes in
Bedford Place Subdivision #4) Bedford Place Subdivision
#1 was recorded in 1995. Bedford Place Subdivision #4
was recorded in 1997
b. 9 existing homes aze located along E. Addison Dr. in the
Estancia Subdivision. 12 additional lots are addressed
along E. Addison Dr. with no building permits yet issued.
Estancia Subdivision was recorded in 2007

Good Morning Terry, I am responding to the e-mail that was sent to Officer Audra Urie about the two streets that
have the same name but are spelled differently. {Addison Dr. and Addeson St.). I have had one officer who lives
in Bedford Place respond to a call on Addison. Knowing the subdivision very well he recognized that the address
numbers were too big to be the Addeson that he knew to be in his own subdivision and he referred to his map to
locate the street. I am particularly concerned that in a high stress situation when Officers or any other emergency
service responds they may not look at the cross straet or have the particular knowledge that the address numbers
are not the same and may respond to the wrong street. This could be a very bad situation as the streets are on
almost opposite ends of the city. ~ ~ +
I hope this lends some insight to the potential problems that could arise from this situation.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

RE: Street Name Change - Estancia Subdivision
Dear Terri,
'We understand the confusion that the fire and police department are having with the
street name E. Addison Drive since another subdivision has such a similar name. We
have chosen a similar name of E. Adelaide Drive as our first choice in replacing the name
E. Addison Drive.
If this name will not work and we need to pick .another name please let me know. Also,
if this name is accepted please let me know at your earliest convenience so we can make
the appropriate changes.
Sincerely,
~~

Subject: RE: Street Name Change
we would have to run it through our central forwarding system like a normal change of address. That is the only
way for us to notify our mailers of the change. The mail would be forwarded for 12 months then it would be
returned to sender. I always advise people to notify everybody they receive mail from of their new address to
eliminate the need to forward their which will take care of the delay. The delay should only be 1 or 2 days once
the forward is in effect not 7-10 days. Hope this info helps.

Subject: Street Name Change
Good Morning, Postmaster Bailey:
We are beginning the process of requesting the street name of E. Addison Drive, located in the Estancia Subdivision, be
changed due to LifelSafety issues. There is another E. Addeson St., located in the Bedford Place Subdivision, which has
caused confusion recently for our emergency services personnel.
We would like to alleviate some concerns for homeowners who will be affected by this upcoming change and this is my
reason for contacting you. Would you kindly email a response letting us know what the homeowners can reasonably expect
from this change?
How long will it take for them to get their mail once the change is made? Will it be handled like a regular "change of
address" situation and their mail held up for 7-10 days, or will that not be the case since they are not actually moving? How
long will the mail from the old address be forwarded? These are a few of the concerns we'd like to address.
Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Sincerely,

Recommendation for Street Name Change
Due to a recent incident in which the Meridian Police were erroneously
dispatched to E. Addison Dr. (located in the Estancia Subdivision) rather
than the sound-alike street of E. Addeson St. (located in the Bedford Place
Subdivision), it is our recommendation that the following change be made:
Current Street Name: E. Addison Dr. (Estancia)
Proposed Street Name: E. Adelaide Dr.
This recommendation is made by the following members of the Ada County
Street Name Committee after careful consideration of both the year each
subdivision was recorded, as well as the number of residences involved.

Subject: Street name change
Dear Terry,
I cannot tell you how angry we are that the City is planning to change the name of our street - E. Addison Orive in Estancia Subdivision. It
just doesn't make sense tome, and it is going to be nn expense that I cannot afford.
I was told that the reason was because it was n °sound alike° for another street Addeson. I was further told that a police officer received a
call that was life threatening and went to the wrong one because they °souud alike°.
I can agree that having nn officer, paramedic, or firefighter go to n wrong address can be'life threatening. But i don't know'how this cart
happen. I have made marry 911 calls during my 64 years. My husband is n retired 40 year law enforcement officer, and for many years of that
in Oregon, our home was the Sheriff's office far that area. So I know these dispatch calls are important. But I also know that, in Ada
County, when you call in for someone to come the dispatcher asks you the cross streets and closest major intersection. I have an 82-year-old
mother with heart trouble, bleeding disorders and osteoporosis. We have had to call the paramedics marry times for her, each time she fell
and broke her arms, and a hip, and when she started bleeding out of a leg and she couldn't stop it, when her pulse went through the roof and
we couldn't slow it dawn and when her blood pressure went up to dangerously high levels. Each time we calved in the dispatcher wanted to
know her address, the closest cross street and major intersection.
I cannot believe the other Addeson has the same name of cross streets as we do in Estancia I don't believe there are two bennison, Mitman,
or Glenmere Streets that intersect with the other Addeson.
If the problem is with the post office, that other street is on the other side of town and in a different zip code.
The City of Boise has ninny streets that are the exact smne name and they go atl over town. As an example -Victory Road that we have in
Meridian has its east roots at almost Barber Park off Boise Avenue and it goes all the way west to Nampa It is not one long continuous
street. It is broken up in marry areas. That is because back in the 60'x, I believe it was, some lame-brained engineer decided that nrry street
in Boise that is lined up with another should have the same name, even if they were two miles apart -hence Victory road going all over the
place in sections. People all over town had their street homes changed and had to go to the expense of changing all their personal inFormation.
We moved into this house lost August. We sent out over 100 notices of address change when we moved in. That alone -for stamps -was $42.
We reordered checks - 400 each for our personal account and my business account. We bought 2000 return address labels. At Christmas we
sent out another 65 Christmas cards with address changes. It has taken 6 months to finally start getting our magazines, and club
memberships to come to the right address. UPS and Fed EX still don't even know we exist, now it will take how long to get them to recognize a
new address. Our subdivision isn't even on 6oogle Earth. When we try to have a package sent to us, the companies deny the address. When I
sent the changes out I told these people it would be the lash change of address ever for us That we ore senior citizens and will never be
moving again.
With the economy the way it is we can't even afford to heat the house, and now you want us to pay to send out new address change notices,
new checks, new return address labels, dent with the magazine people and membership people changing our address again. I wish we had never
moved to Meridian. I am a 5 generation Idahoan, my family came to Boise in the mid 1800'x. Even with our 8 year assignment in Oregon, we
couldn't wait to get back °home to Boise area°. The last 8 years we have lived in Cascade and I can tell you even with all its limitations in
medical care, shopping, gas prices, etc., at least everyone there cares about each other and goes out of their way to consider other people's
feelings. Not in Treasure Valley. No one cares haw their little whims will affect other people. They just get an idea and run with it, all over
other people.
I just don't understand how the Boise City officers can deal with have numerous streets with the same names, but the Meridian City officers
want to change our name because it is similar to one other street in Meridian. Boggles the mind, and the check book.

Subject: Possible Street Name Change
Good Morning, Kathy:
I attended the Street Name Committee Meeting yesterday, as you and I discussed earlier, and brought with me your list of
concerns over the possible name change for E. Addison Drive.
The committee is made up bf representatives not only from Development Services and the Fire Deparhnent frgm_Meridian,
but others from Ada County Development Services, the Ada County Sheriff s Dept. and ACRD. All other cities within the
county, lazge and small; are represented as well. This representation is important as it allows there to be "fresh eyes" on
matters such as these.
After discussing it at length, all agreed that the change needs to take place due to Life/Safety issues. I want to assure you
that the changing of a street name is never done on a whim and it's not our intent to cause you, or any resident, inconvenience
or frustration. Our objective in this case is to ensure we've done all we can to eliminate potential confusion, and a possible
delay in response time, when emergency services are needed in your area.
A change such as this is not made overnight. When everything is approved, a letter will be sent to all affected residents
advising them the change will be made within 60 days from that date.
On a more personal note, Kathy, I too was born and raised in Idaho. I lived away for many years and moved back just a few
years ago. It's great to be HOME! I hope you'll remain here and enjoy everything the City of Meridian has to offer.
Respectfully,
