Council to review unnamed road ("Day Street") and 911 addressing issues after residents report GPS problems
Summary
Residents raised concerns that an unnamed road (referred to historically as Day Street) and other dead-end roads are causing GPS routing and addressing problems; council asked staff to check County 911 records and to contact landowners about possible abandonment or renaming.
Residents and council members discussed an unnamed road off Court Road (historically referred to in the meeting as Day Street) June 17, noting GPS mapping is directing drivers incorrectly and causing turnaround problems for local residents.
Council members described the road as effectively a driveway or dead-end that nonetheless appears on maps and in some records. A council member said the address for the house on that unnamed road is currently listed as Court Road or County Road 49, which is creating confusion. The presiding official asked staff to check County 911 records and to explore options, including petitioning landowners to abandon the right-of-way or formally closing the unused portion of the road if the landowners agree.
Council members compared the situation to previous cases where the city abandoned unused subdivision roads at the request of landowners. No formal action was taken at the meeting; staff was asked to examine records and contact the affected property owners.
