Dear Resident:
The City of Jeffersonville is currently investigating the actual street name (Ashwood
Ddve vs. Ashwood Court) of the street on which you reside. This inquiry is in response
to a written request submitted to the Jeffersonville Board of Public Works and Safety on
March 17, 2004. This wdtten request, which was signed by the residents of the eight
homes located along the street, outlined problems regarding mail delivery and
emergency services not being able to locate specified addresses that are a direct result
of confusion regarding the actual street name.
In an effort to take the resident's wishes into consideration in making this decision I ask
that you call my office and let me know if you have a preference in regards to the street
name that will be assigned. Once a decision is made all affected parties including the
residents, utilities, the post office and emergency services will be notified so that this
problem will no longer exist.
I thank you for bringing this problem to the City's attention and apologize for any
inconvenience it may have caused. Should you have any questions or comments,
please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Christopher N. Padgett
Director of Planning and Zoning
