SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Changing the Name of 4th Street to East 4th Street between Reid Place and Poss Road in DuPage County, Aurora Illinois (City of Aurora - 17-00568 / NA17/1-17.120-M- TV - Ward 10)
PURPOSE:
The City of Aurora is requesting a street name change from 4th Street to East 4th Street between Reid Place and Poss Road.
BACKGROUND:
There are nine properties along the west side of 4th Street between Reid Place and Poss Road which were annexed into the City of Aurora in 2001.
Since there was already a street name called "4th Street" within the City of Aurora, a street name change was to occur once the properties were annexed to "East 4th Street"; however, this name change was never completed.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the Street Name Change petition and have determined that it meets the applicable codes and ordinances.
IMPACT STATEMENT :
The properties in this area are currently using East 4th Street, therefore, this street name change will not have any impact and will correct the County's records.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff would recommend APPROVAL of the Ordinance Changing the Name of 4th Street to East 4th Street between Reid Place and Poss Road in DuPage County, Aurora Illinois
