TOWN BOARD MEETING - 9/11/00
AGENDA ITEM NO.7
Renaming of a Portion of Abby Lane to Lois Lane
Resolution No. 131
WHEREAS, the County, of Tompkins with the cooperation of various officials from
the Town of Ithaca and other municipalities, is attempting to establish a 911 emergency
response plan; and
WHEREAS, in the process of establishing such plan the present designation as
Abby Lane (also noted in some maps as Abbey Road or Abby Road) of the road
running west from Route 79 to the intersection of Penny Lane and Lois lane cause
confusion for several reasons:
(1) What is presently designated Abby Lane is the principal entrance into
Commonlands Subdivision but its extension beyond Penny Lane is named Lois Lane;
(2) There are no dwellings or other improvements with an Abby Lane or Abby Road
address, and as a result emergency vehicles looking for Lois Lane may, because of the
discontinuity of the road at its intersection with Penny Lane, be unable to locate quickly
addresses on Lois Lane; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board finds that, to enable emergency responses to be more
timely along not only the road designated Abby Lane, but also the other roads that are
part of the Commonlands Subdivision, renaming Abby Lane (a/k/a Abby Road) to Lois
Lane is in the best interests of those citizens living in Commonlands and is in the best
interests of the Town as a whole;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it
RESOLVED, that the road between Route 79 (Slaterville Road) and Penny lane,
presently designated as Abby Lane or Abbey Road be renamed Lois Lane; and it
is further
RESOLVED, that pursuant to Section 64(9) of the Town Law the Town Clerk
shall, within 10 days after the adoption of this resolution, notify the Tompkins
County Division of Assessment, the Planning Board of the Town, the Tompkins
County Clerk, the Tompkins County Engineer, and the Post Office Department of
the United States of such redesignation; and it is further
