SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Changing the Name of Indian Trail, Indian Trail Road, New Indian Trail Road, West Indian Trail Road, East Indian Trail Road, and Indian Trail Drive to W. Indian Trail and E. Indian Trail in Kane and DuPage County, Aurora, Illinois (The City of Aurora - 18-0103 / KDWK-18.030-M - TV - Ward 1, 5, 6, 10)
PURPOSE:
The City of Aurora is requesting a street name change from Indian Trail, Indian Trail Road, New Indian Trail Road, West Indian Trail Road, East Indian Trail Road, and Indian Trail Drive to W. Indian Trail and E. Indian Trail.
BACKGROUND:
The Kane County GIS office has contacted the City, on behalf of KaneComm 911 who dispatches for the Kane County Sheriff's office as well as other emergency services within the region, regarding the "Indian Trail Road" street name within the City of Aurora. Based on recorded subdivision plats, there are several different forms of the road names for essentially the same street within the City of Aurora, causing a public safety issue for the emergency responders.
DISCUSSION:
The Street Name Committee, made up of Engineering Department, Planning and Zoning Division, Fire Prevention, Aurora Police Department, and Information Technology Division, has reviewed the Street Name Change petition and have determined that it meets the applicable codes and ordinances.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The properties along this street are currently addressed off W. Indian Trail and E. Indian Trail, therefore, this street name change will not have any impact addressing. However, there are a number of street signs that will need to be updated to reflect the correct street name.
This will also fix the County's records so that they can provide KaneComm 911 with the updated and accurate information.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff would recommend APPROVAL of the Ordinance Changing the Name of Indian Trail, Indian Trail Road, New Indian Trail Road, West Indian Trail Road, East Indian Trail Road, and Indian Trail Drive to W. Indian Trail and E. Indian Trail in Kane and DuPage County, Aurora, Illinois
