.Adelaide Drive located in Estancia Subdivision
Summary of Proposed Development:
~~
~""~
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 maj or delay was averted because the responding
officer lived in the subdivision and knew the dispatched information to be
incorrect, we are concerned that response time for future "emergency
service" calls to these areas could be delayed due to confusion over the
similar street names.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff and the Ada County Street Name Committee recommend that E. Addison Dr.,
located in the Estancia Subdivision be changed to E. Adelaide Dr. since there are
more homes in the Bedford Subdivision that would be affected than in Estancia
and the Bedford Subdivision was recorded 10 years prior to Estancia.
