SUBJECT:
title
Ordinance Approving a Street Name Change for Adamic Lane to Walter Adamic Lane (between Ruth Fitzgerald Drive and Frank Turk Drive) (SN-1-25)
end
BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet as the petitioner is requesting to officially change Adamic Lane to Walter Adamic Lane within the Mayfair residential subdivision. The street name in question was recorded as "Adamic Lane" on the plats recorded with Will County in the 1990s. However, many entities presently refer to the street as "Walter Adamic Lane." The City received feedback from Adamic Lane residents that they are having issues when voting or doing similar activities that require their IDs to match the official record. Approval of the requested street name change will align the formal street name with the name already used by many agencies. The change will affect the 20 residential properties with addresses on Adamic Lane.
If approved, the City will notify certain agencies of the street name change, such as the City of Joliet Police and Fire Departments, the City of Joliet Customer Service / Utility Billing Division, the Will County 9-1-1 office, and the United States Postal Service. Property owners and residents will be responsible for notifying any private service providers (e.g. utility companies, banks, credit card companies, mailed subscription services) and applicable federal and state service providers (e.g. the U.S. Social Security Administration, the Illinois Department of Revenue). The street name change will not affect house numbers.
