Public Testimony by William GardoskiChanging NE 21/2 St. to NE 2nd
Just a bad idea! I see no need to change the street name for emergency response, public
health and safety?? or othervyise. After all these years all response teams SHOULD know
by now where we are located, as there is only ONE street with this name, i am not aware
of any problems in the past due to the street name, AND there is a West 2Bd sheet on the
west side of Main St. which could confuse matters. even more. The United States Postal
Service has in the past really screwed things up when a change in address takes place.
OUR PASSPORTS, MORTGAGE, UTILITY BILLINGS, CREDIT CARDS, LEGAL
DOCUMENTS, TAX INFORMATION, BANK ACCOUNTS, FRIEND AND
RELTTTVES CONTACT RECORDS, BUSINESS CONTACTS and ALL other
paperwork that is important to our family are set with this address we now have on
2 % St. as it has been for many years, and I am sure that it will have a negative effect on
all residents living on the said street.
I see nothing but problems for the residents living on 2 '/2 St. should this change take
plaice, and really see no logical reason for the change in the first place. My wife works at
Idaho Independent Bank here in Meridian, as Operations Officer, and she has many times
related to me the problems associated with address changes with bank accounts.
Certainly there is something more important for the city to be doing than ties. Myself, my
family, and everyone on this street i have spoken to, is against this change as I am.
Please consider NOT changing the street name, LEAVE TT AS TT IS, and do not upset
our lives with this, to me, frivolous change for no reason that I can understand.
Also, there is an additional burden of cost to change the signs both to the city and tax
payers which we do not need. at this time.
Besides, I enjoy the giggles i get fiom folks when I tell them my address.
