SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Changing the Name of Adelwood Drive to Adelwood Circle located south of Del Webb Boulevard, east of Bellwhether Drive in Will County, Aurora, Illinois
PURPOSE:
The City of Aurora is requesting a street name change from Adelwood Drive to Adelwood Circle.
BACKGROUND:
The City approved a small section of Adelwood Drive off of Bellwether Drive with Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb, Phase 1, however, at this time Staff did not realize that the street was going to coming back out onto Bellwether Drive. When this occurs the designation of the street should be a Circle.
The remaining portion of this street is being approved with Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb, Phase 3. Therefore, Staff is requesting to change the street name for this small section of street from Adelwood Drive to Adelwood Circle so that it meets the street designation system within the City Code.
DISCUSSION:
This street name change would now meet the street designation system within the City Code.
IMPACT STATEMENT :
The street name change will not have an impact as there is currently no properties being addressed off Adelwood Drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the Ordinance Changing the Name of Adelwood Drive to Adelwood Circle located south of Del Webb Boulevard, east of Bellwhether Drive in Will County, Aurora, Illinois.
