Mayor urges Troy to adopt 10th and 11th street names to fix EMS addressing errors
Summary
Mayor TJ Boswell recommended the city campaign to formally adopt 10th and 11th streets after a misrouted EMS call revealed discrepancies among Google Maps, E911, city billing and dispatch records; the property has a full easement but is privately owned, and no formal vote was recorded.
Mayor TJ Boswell said Troy should campaign to formally adopt 10th and 11th streets so emergency services, E911, city billing and mapping services use consistent addresses.
Boswell told the council that the streets are not labeled properly for EMS and that a misrouted call had highlighted the problem. He said correcting E911 records is necessary whether or not the city formally adopts the streets and that adoption could also standardize addresses for sprinkler-tax revenue. The mayor noted the property in question is privately owned but subject to a full easement.
Boswell said there are discrepancies among Google Maps, city billing, E911 and dispatch that have caused confusion. He added that if the city declines to adopt the streets, residents retain the option to vote on street names.
No formal motion or vote on street adoption was recorded in the meeting minutes provided. The council did not announce a schedule for any public notice or a formal adoption vote during the session.
