RESOLUTION NO. 39-11

 

A RESOLUTION RENAMING F ROAD TO PATTERSON ROAD

BETWEEN I-70 B (ON THE WEST) TO 26 ROAD AND

BETWEEN 28 ROAD AND I-70 B (ON THE EAST)

 

Recitals.

 

A request originated from the City and County Addressing Committee to change the name of F Road between I-70 B on the west and 26 Road and between 28 Road and I-70 B on the east to Patterson Road.

 

At present the street name changes from F Road to Patterson Road and back to F Road, creating a variety of address ranges and resulting in confusion and difficulty in finding addresses by the community, including emergency responders, US Postal Service, delivery services, utility locations, clients of businesses and visitors to our community.

 

The Addressing Committee has studied the problem and has facilitated and considered public input on the problem and on possible solutions.

 

Title 21.06.010(b)(6) of the Grand Junction Municipal Code states a street naming system shall be maintained to facilitate the provisions of necessary public services and provide efficient movement of traffic. For consistency, this system shall be adhered to on all newly platted, dedicated, or named streets and roads. Existing streets and roads not conforming or inconsistent to the addressing system shall be made conforming as the opportunity occurs.

 

The proposal to rename F Road to Patterson Road creates consistency in the street naming system, facilitates provision of public services and efficient movement of traffic, and conforms with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and requirements of the Zoning and Development Code.

 

The proposal to rename F Road to Patterson Road is in the best interests of the community.

 

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

 

That F Road between I-70 B on the west and 26 Road and between 28 Road and to I-70 B on the east is hereby changed to Patterson Road within the City limits of Grand Junction.

 

ADOPTED AND APPROVED THIS 20th day of July, 2011.

 

ATTEST:
