Council sets May 11 hearing after residents warn address change would burden businesses on East Airport Road
Summary
After multiple residents and businesses testified that renaming East Airport Road would cause financial and administrative burdens, the council voted to set a May 11 hearing date for the renaming rather than table the matter; many speakers urged better signage instead of changing addresses.
Council removed a consent‑agenda item on renaming East Airport Road after several nearby residents and businesses testified they were not adequately notified and that address changes would impose time and financial costs. Speakers said deliveries have occasionally gone to the wrong street but argued improved signage and clearer address numbers would be a less disruptive fix than renaming. "There's not one person that wants to change their address at all," a speaker said during public comment.
Council debated whether to table the item to pursue signage first or to set a formal hearing. After discussion and a failed motion to table, the council set a May 11 hearing date so property owners will be officially notified and can testify at the hearing; staff said the hearing record could include consideration of signage as an alternative to a name change.
