This Report is the culmination of the extensive research and public consultation that was initiated by the Ottawa Transition Board (OTB) and which was continued under the direction of the Development Services Department. The Department has analyzed the findings of the project group and has determined that the benefit of eliminating duplicated street names warrants consideration. The Ottawa Transition Board established the Street Naming and Numbering Project to identify problems relating to duplicate municipal addresses, assess best practices, and prepare a policy report that would establish the future administration of municipal addressing and recommended a solution to eliminate duplicate street names. A second report recommending new policies, regulations, administration, enforcement, fees and charges, and signage protocol for the future street names for the City will be forwarded to Committee and Council in the fall 2001.
As communities grow or amalgamate duplicated street names become an even greater issue of concern for those emergency and general service agencies that are concerned with the ability to provide effective service to residences and businesses. In previous annexations, street name change by-laws were enacted through notice in the local newspaper in advance of the changes. In 1950, the City of Ottawa enacted a By-law that resulted in the renaming of over 50 streets without formal consultation. Since the turn of the 20th century, area municipalities have enacted over 300 street name change by-laws. Just as the issue of clearly visible address numbers on rural properties became a provincially mandated issue for rural municipalities, the confusion that is possible from duplicate street names once again must be considered. Both are elements of way finding that, when confusion arises, “Hard to find is Hard to Help.”
Few of the Ontario municipalities that have recently amalgamated have, as yet, opted to implement an effective solution for duplicate street names. Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, and Sudbury have recently met to discuss how best to deal with duplicate street names in a manner that will have minimal impact on affected communities in terms of cost and personal records. Municipal representatives were very supportive of Ottawa’s in-depth analysis and approach to the recommended solution. Some of these cities are now re-examining the duplicate street name issue because the alternative of inaction relies on the continuing use of municipal references that are no longer officially recognized.
In this regard, neither Bell Canada nor Canada Post is compelled to maintain historical references to previous municipality names. Bell Canada is currently pro-actively encouraging municipalities that either have or are about to amalgamate to eliminate street name duplication as quickly as is feasible. It is their objective to work with area municipalities to have these references eliminated ideally within 24 months so that, once again, only the officially recognized municipality names remain. As the names of the old municipalities whether officially or unofficially fade into the past, it will ultimately become more and more difficult and confusing, in particular for tourists, when attempting to differentiate between streets with the same name. The viable solution is to either change the street name or render the name clearly unique (Refer to Optional Solutions Section). Finally, Bell Canada has recently adopted the policy that, for all future amalgamated cities, the PERS system cannot be implemented until all street names have been rendered unique.
The OTB project considered alternatives to street name changes, particularly those suggestions that were put forward by the public during consultation. The suggested alternatives for the most part involve incorporating new elements into existing databases, or incorporating old community names. In terms of information consistency, a majority of the suggestions would involve the need to amend 100 % of the database for all cities in Ontario to resolve an issue that affects 1.6% of Ottawa’s population.
Development Services Department recommends changing street names at this time for the following reasons:
·
To reduce the potential for confusion and delay in the
dispatch of Emergency Services.
· To simplify way finding for the general public and tourists, taxis, delivery businesses etc.
·
To capitalize on the considerable portion of the
project already completed including extensive public consultation under the
sponsorship and financial support of the OTB.
·
To capitalize on the unique opportunity the new City
has to proceed with this project where through the public consultation process
a majority of respondents have indicated support for the change.
·
To implement the solution of eliminating duplication as
a “Best Practice” where alternative solutions have been investigated and, based
on the discussion of each alternative outlined below, that this measure is the
most cost effective, least disruptive and reasonable method of dealing with the
issue.
The primary concern that arises when discussing duplicate street names is the potential for confusion and the resulting delay in emergency response. In 2000, the 911 Call Centre, a service available to our 785,000 residents and over 6,000,000 tourists annually, received 236,010 emergency calls.
Of significant concern is the proportion of incoming emergency calls received from cell phones and the fact that the use of cell phones to obtain emergency assistance is increasing at an alarming rate. Currently, cell phone calls equate to 38% of all calls to the 911 Call Centre or 90,412 calls in the past year, up from 34% or 69,364 calls in 1999. Currently 25% of Canadians have cell phones compared to 17% in 1999. In comparison, Japan is currently contending with a cell phone saturation of 80% (Reference Optional Solutions – Add a Numerical Code).
All emergency services and the 911 operators must deal with the issue of duplicate streets on a daily basis. Over and above the 236,010 calls to the 911 Centre, there are an additional 750,000 calls annually from individuals who attempt to call police, ambulance and fire services directly. The Ottawa Police Communication Section indicated the following: “When a caller utilizes the police emergency number or calls from a cellular telephone, no personal address information is displayed at the Call Centre and the call taker must identify the location of the emergency by questioning the caller. Callers do not always know where they are.”
Understanding that many callers are under considerable stress when making an emergency call, identifying their exact location in a timely manner can become challenging. Cell phone callers and non-residents in such a predicament often resort to locating the nearest street sign and provide this information to the call taker. When that street sign bears the name of one of a number of duplicate street names, additional questioning must take place, which again takes valuable time. The opportunity for increased confusion clearly exists. The most efficient way to address this issue is to eliminate duplicate street names.
Recent examples: A victim of domestic violence calling from a pay
telephone located on one of two roads of the same name located approximately 20
kilometers apart. A second individual
in a life-threatening situation located on a street bearing the same name,
where both streets (one in the rural and one in the urban area) were located in
the same city. Confusion with a motor
vehicle accident located on one of two 9th line Roads.” (Ref. Document 4 – Police Communication Section)
Emergency service representatives have stressed that street names need to be clear and unique to avoid confusion for the service providers, the business sector and the general public when attempting to locate a property. “Hard to find can mean hard to help.”
While emergency services view the
use of cell phones as a real advantage in terms of convenience, the location of
the caller remains an issue. When an
emergency call is received from a cell phone, the only information displayed on
the 911 screen is the Automatic Number Identification/Automatic Location
Identification (ANI/ALI) of the cellular provider. The caller must describe their specific location using the only
indicators available to them at the scene of the emergency. Typically, this is the name of the street
and the house number. Call takers have
advised that, under stress, a caller will typically remember the proper name of
the street but will either not remember or give an incorrect suffix. Without clear property identification, the
ability for the call taker to confirm the location of an emergency within the
optimum first few critical seconds will be seriously affected.
Police, ambulance and fire have provided examples of problems arising from duplicated street names. The most compelling example occurred in the City of Peterborough. A coroner’s inquest followed an unfortunate death in 1995. The findings of the inquest brought to the foreground the importance of first response effectiveness, the relationship between clear municipal addressing and the ability to provide the service within the critical first few minutes. In this case, confusion with duplicate street names contributed to a nine-minute delay in the arrival of the ambulance at the proper location. In his testimony, the pathologist indicated the recovery probability of an individual having a heart attack declines about 2% to 10% per minute starting with the estimated probability of 70% to 80% survival at the zero. In most life-threatening situations, time is the critical element and any delay in way finding will diminish the probability of recovery.
Case Studies Examples (Confusion resulting from municipal addresses):
·
“End Address Mix-up, jury says.”
A fatality in Manotick-Rideau was attributed to confusion over the
display of an unofficial civic address (Ottawa Citizen article Jan. 15, 1991).
·
“Straightening out confusing street names in Strathroy.” A newspaper
article discusses how emergency vehicles were sent to the wrong ‘duplicate’
street, thus delaying response time to the correct location. After repeated
calls between the Police Chief and dispatch, it was determined that emergency
crews should have been on Parkview Crescent rather than Parkview
Drive. It was noted in the article
that this confusion could have had disastrous results if the emergency was more
serious (The Age Dispatch, Apr. 4, 2001).
·
“Mix-ups put lives at risk- (Fire crews sent to wrong city),” A newspaper
article discusses the need to eliminate duplicate street names. The article showed that confusion emerged
when a 911 caller stated that the incident was on Blair Road, Gloucester where
the dispatch was able to determine, minutes later, the incident was actually on
Blair Street in Ottawa. Dispatch had to
then re-direct emergency crews to the correct location (Ottawa Sun, 2000).
·
“Township puts an end to road with 3 names,” A newspaper article
discusses how, due to a roadway having 3 different official names, emergency
services were confused as they attempted to determine the exact location of the
emergency. Subsequently, the majority
of residents who live on the street signed a petition requesting that, to
eliminate future confusion, one name applied to the road (Ottawa Citizen).
·
A resident in Osgoode experienced a delay in receiving emergency
assistance as a result of confusion over a duplicate street name. The street
name was duplicated elsewhere and Emergency services initially went to the
wrong River Road.
ii) Way Finding
Clear property identification is paramount to the effective location of our residents, business and the general public in an emergency situation. Clear identification is necessary to receive even basic services, as for example, mail/parcel delivery, ordering a taxi, friends, family and tourists visiting our new City or simply ordering a pizza. Individuals who have experienced delays in service delivery due to confusion with municipal addressing have indicated their support of this issue.
Factors affecting way finding
A majority of property information databases, including the system used at the 911 Call Centre, are address-based systems. In an emergency, this information is relayed to the Call Centre in one of the following two ways:
If information is provided, a typical address string includes the individual or company name, the civic number, the street address and any extension (i.e. prefix or suffix) and the municipality.
Note: In both cases, the caller must confirm his or her location before dispatch of emergency services is possible. Any confusion arising while attempting to confirm the address will result in a delay.
Streets with duplicate names represent only 4.3 % of the total number of listed streets in the new City. Following the review of each affected street, based on the established evaluation criteria (discussed later in this report), it was concluded that 122 of the 272 affected streets would retain their names, while the names of the remaining streets or 2.4% of the total number of streets in the new City need to be rendered unique.
General Overview
This project has incorporated a full public consultation process including 3 public meetings and 9 town hall meetings. The purpose for the initial public meetings was to provide an overview of the study objectives, outline the evaluation process, obtain feedback on the draft evaluation criteria and solicit suggestions for new street names. The subsequent town hall meetings were to obtain feedback on the draft recommendations and optional names as developed by the community, local historians and the team. Over the course of the project, the public was encouraged to suggest alternate solutions and/or new street names via letters, e-mails and facsimiles, and by speaking with one of the team members (Detailed Project Plan Available on Request).
All of the alternatives put forward by those directly affected, the general public and the emergency services were assessed and are discussed in Best Practices. Suggested solutions included, change existing technology to recognize the duplicate names, change the suffix only, add an alpha or numeric code, add the community name, change the civic number only and change the street name.
Once identified as a safety issue, comments from the general public indicated support for the need to render street names unique. A large portion of those directly affected, once informed of the safety aspects and the objective of the project to provide clear identification for families, friends and neighbours were also in support.
Those adamantly opposed to change were primarily concerned about the potential loss of historic background and community identity. In all cases, the recommendations have attempted to respect those streets with historically sensitive names by either incorporating the existing name into the new name or by given the community the opportunity to circulate a petition recommending a new name.
Some individuals related their personal experiences with confusion caused
by addressing problems and resulting delays.
The examples detailed below relate to both emergency response and basic
service delivery.
§
Similar sounding street names and names that mean the same
(airport/aviation parkways)
§
Identical street names with different suffixes
§
Continuous streets with multiple street names over the length of the
street
§
Streets with an alpha or numeric identification only.
§
Streets and/or private roadways that are named but not formally
recognized by by-law and/or may not be illustrated on existing official mapping
systems
§
The lack of addressing for parks, bridges, streets within school
boundaries, federal, commercial and office complexes identified by name only.
§
Other anomalies as determined through the project and listed in Document 5.
These items will be
discussed within the second Report to deal with the overall street naming
policies and best practices for the administration of municipal addressing in
the future.
Background
The 911 Emergency Response System was implemented in 1988 with the subsequent execution of a Joint Powers Agreement in 1994 between the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, all area municipalities, the Ministry of Health and the emergency response agencies for the establishment and maintenance of the current joint enhanced E911 system. The base maps indicating the street configuration and street names is provided to Bell Canada by the City of Ottawa. Together with the address database, the information is then supplied by Bell Canada to the 911 Call Centre. For Emergency Services to be effective, the information on the E911 system relating to municipal addressing, now provide by the new Public Emergency Reporting Service (PERS), successfully implemented on June 27, 2001, is dependent on clear, accurate and consistent information (Ref. Doc. 6 - Correspondence from Bell Canada).
In 1996 and 1997 both the 911 Management Board and Regional Council identified municipal addressing concerns as a critical issue. In 1999, the 911 Management Board formed a task group (Sub-Committee on Civic Addressing) with representation from the various emergency services and area municipalities to review existing related by-laws and regulations. On February 4, 2000, Regional Council considered and adopted the specific street naming guidelines recommended by the Sub-Committee. At that time, both the 911 Management Board and Regional Council conveyed a strong message to the OTB stressing the need, importance and urgency of resolving concerns related to municipal addressing, in particular those street names that would be duplicated as a result of the upcoming amalgamation. It was emphasized that not since the implementation of the 911 system has there been a more opportune time to develop a common approach to municipal addressing.
The primary objective of the Ottawa Transition Board (OTB) project was to develop an implementation strategy that would result in an inventory of unique street names and to reduce potential confusion and delay in the dispatch of emergency services. Resolution of the duplicate street names was to be based on a fair impartial process with a minimum of disruption to the affected owner/occupant residents and public/private businesses of the new City of Ottawa, with an emphasis on an extensive public participation process.
iv) Best Practices
To determine best practices/lessons learned in other amalgamated cities across the province and within Canada, a survey was conducted (Document 7). Cities who have taken action to resolve the issue have attempted a variety of approaches. Some cities addressed duplicate street names in preparation for conversion to the 911system. Other municipalities, for example Prince Edward County, placed the greatest emphasis on the historic background. In that case, only the suffixes were changed in an attempt to make streets unique. The municipality later admitted this was not the best solution as it has caused confusion for emergency services in that callers to the 911 Centre often confuse the suffix. As a result, a change in suffix only is no longer permitted. A second example is the City of Picton that, for the well-known streets in the primary business district, the name of the municipality was added to the address line, i.e., “Main Street” became “Picton Main Street.” This latter alternative has been adopted as a viable recommended solution for some of the duplicate Main Streets in Ottawa.
Optional Solutions
To identify viable options that would satisfy the needs of those directly affected, emergency and general service agencies, and the general public, all of the alternatives submitted by emergency services, the technical sub-committee, affected residents, businesses, the general public and the project team were considered.
Suggestions were far ranging from simply changing the civic number to utilizing existing technology to change the overall data base information provided to the 911 Call Centre so as to continue to recognize existing duplicate names through the introduction of codes or geographical reference points. The following is a summary list of suggestions and a discussion of the alternatives. The alternative recommended by the Department is included at the end of this section:
a. Change the suffix
b. Add an alpha or numeric code
c. Change the existing technology
d. Add the town, village or neighborhood name
e. Mapping to the neighborhood level (town, villages, hamlet)
f. Changing the civic numbers only
g. Change the street name
Some individuals felt that duplicate street names could be made unique by simply changing the suffix, as for example, from “Street” to “Avenue.” Based on first hand experiences, dispatchers and front line staff have indicated this alternative will not avoid potential confusion. In a stressful situation, callers often remember the proper street name but sometimes inadvertently give an incorrect suffix. For example, when an address is entered onto a 911 screen, all streets starting with the same primary name are listed. In all cases, the call taker must quiz the caller to confirm on which of the duplicate streets the caller is calling from. In a panic situation, the caller may not be able to respond or provide detailed information beyond the primary street name. For duplicate streets, only through further dialogue with the caller can it be confirmed on which specific street the emergency exists. An emergency vehicle cannot be dispatched until the confusion is resolved. In extreme cases, the Call Centre must dispatch vehicles to multiple locations thus, jeopardizing other emergency situations.
A unique street name would eliminate confusion and the resulting delay in dispatching emergency services.
b) Add an Alpha or Numeric Code
A suggestion was made that the inclusion of the postal code would render the street name unique in that the code would identify the general location of the street as to whether the street is in, for example, Osgoode Village or Fitzroy Harbor.
This option might be feasible if all emergency calls were received from hard line telephones, where the code could be included as part of the personal information displayed at the 911 Call Centre. However, if the call is received from a different location, a wireless or cell phone, no information is displayed and the caller would have to provide the postal code for that area. The code would have to be displayed on the street sign in order to assist visitor and service companies in emergency situations. The City has no jurisdiction over the postal coding system that can change periodically. In this regard, Canada Post has a long-range goal to ultimately convert R.R. and P.O. Box designations to the municipal address system. Some codes, particularly in the rural areas, encompass large areas of the City and would not provide the desired clarity. As mentioned, under stress, callers have difficulty describing basic information and will often remember the street name but will have difficulty confirming related detailed information pertaining to, for example, the name of the particular neighborhood, town or village. To expect the general public to provide a postal code would be considered an unreasonable expectation.
Add
the Telephone Exchange (Bell Canada)
A suggestion was put forward that the three digit local telephone exchange be added at the end of the address line as an indicator of the precise location of a given property.
A
recent Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
decision now allows independent companies to provide telephone services across
Canada. At the same time, in
anticipation of the quickly depleting source of available phone numbers, local
municipalities are faced with the introduction of additional area codes and the
anticipated 10-digit telephone number system, currently implemented in
Toronto. Finally, with the ever
increasing pressure from businesses and the public to not change telephone
number when relocating, Local Number Portability (LNP) is due to be introduced
in the near future. It is our
understanding that customers will be able to transfer their 10 digit telephone
numbers to any other service provider across Canada. Once implemented,
emergency agencies would not be able to rely on telephone exchanges to dispatch
emergency services. Once again, the
point address (unique street name) will be the critical factor in the ability
to locate a 911 callers quickly and with minimal confusion.
Japan originally adopted a numeric system that has worked quite well for many years. The system is of greatest benefit for mail delivery. However, visitors have acknowledged that it is complicated when attempting to locate a property, unless the individual has access to local maps. Visitors have difficulty relating to known landmark intersections without principle street names. In Japan, numbers are used to identify the district, the neighborhood, the block and the unit. This form of identification would not be consistent with other cities in Canada and, therefore, confusing for the public. To maintain continuity and information consistency across the Province and the country, this option could not be applied exclusively to the affected duplicate street names in Ottawa. To consider this option would necessitate a re-design of the entire addressing system.
To simply add a numeric code to the end of an address line would have the same effect as outlined in the previous section.
c) Change
the Existing Technology
Geo-Technical Coordinates
Some municipalities,
as for example, Hamilton, are considering the use of coordinate information to
identify properties. The rationale is
that when a call is received, an X, Y coordinate would be available within the
information provided to the 911Call Centre that would identify the exact
location of the property. This information
is currently available in the data string within some municipal
databases.
For this option to be viable, there are two issues to be considered. In the past, the address information provided by Bell address, relate more closely to the billing address and not, therefore, the actual location of the telephone. Recently, this information is more closely linked to the service address (the location of the telephone). The above notwithstanding, often large companies have all of their telephones linked through a main switchboard or their head office building. As a result, what will be displayed at the Call Centre, regardless of where an individual is calling from, will be the main address. In some cases, the address information is still linked to the billing address. For example, a person from AVIS car rental called 911 on a hard line and the call taker appropriately confirmed that the address displayed on their screen was in fact the location of the person calling. Under stress, the caller responded “Yes, can you just please send an ambulance quickly!!” In this case, the billing address for the AVIS head office was the information displayed on the ANI/ALI not the point address of the caller. There was a fatality as a result of the confusion (Ottawa 1999). Call takers always confirm that the information on the screen is the correct location and, if the caller hangs up, they must call back to confirm additional information.
This case simply demonstrates how critical clear information is to
effective emergency response and that geo-technical coordinates would only
assist emergency service drivers locate the property once the proper address
and location have been confirmed.
The United States is also looking at this
technology. However, representatives
have indicated that Geo-Technical coordinate information will only be used as
an additional factor to help locate a property once the property has been
identified by its municipal address.
Once again,
since 38% of all 911 calls are received from cell phones, the only information displayed at the Call
Centre is the address of the cellular provider.
Locating Cell Phones by Transmission Towers
A suggestion to locate cell phones by
triangulating the signal sent from the transmission towers to a cell phone was
considered. Information obtained on
this issue revealed that a signal sent to a cell phone is not stable and can
easily move from one tower to another in the course of a conversation in that
the phone is always searching for the strongest signal. Typically, a cell phone receives the incoming
or outgoing call signal from one tower.
To establish a reasonable level of accuracy, triangulation would require
multiple towers. Therefore, given that
towers are only able to determine that the phone is within the general service
radius of the tower, triangulation from local transmission towers is not
considered by police communication staff to be an accurate method of point
location.
Global Positioning Systems
(GPS) – (Triangulation)
A cellular telephone equipped
with GPS technology relays a signal to multiple satellites orbiting the earth
that determine its position in terms of longitude and latitude. If the signal is interrupted, as is the case
when the unit is either in a building or under a canopy of trees, a position
cannot be determined. Therefore, while GPS could be used for positioning
cellular telephones located outside, another method of locating GPS units
located inside buildings would have to be employed. It is our understanding this technology has yet to be developed.
The United States Federal
Communication Commission has recently legislated that cell-phone manufacturers
equip their telephones with location-tracking technology by 2005. While such technology could save lives in an
emergency, the legislation has raised serious questions concerning invasion of
personal privacy. In preparation of a
class action suit against the Federal Government, the law firm Perkins and Cole
of Seattle stated the following “For most people, it is a very scary proposition
that the government can use not only your mobile phone but Palm Pilots and any
other mobile device to track your every movement. Some worry that the technology will be used in other ways, with
providers selling information to merchants or worse: stalkers or abusive
relatives.”
Ultimately, our charter
right to personal privacy may be in question and the universal adoption of a
mandatory location-tracking system would likely require lengthy debate at the
Federal level. It is our understanding,
this technology is not currently or in the near future under considered by the
Canadian government.
There is some discussion that this technology may be considered by the emergency services to assist with the ability to dispatch the closest vehicle to an emergency or crime scene. GPS technology is currently available to individuals or businesses that choose to exercise this option.
Cellular
Phone Tracking
As mentioned, the number
of emergency calls received annually from cell phones is increasing at a
staggering rate. Specifically, in 2000
there has been a 4% increase from the previous year and the projection for 2001
is that the percentage of all emergency calls received from cell phones will
exceed 42%. This is compounded by the
over 750,000 additional calls received annually from callers attempted to
contact the fire, ambulance or police telephone lines directly, in which case
no address data base information is available to the call taker.
Generally, the public is
not aware that the only information displayed from a cell phone on the ANI/ALI
screen at the 911 Call Centre is the address of the company providing the cell
phone service. In addition, information related to callers calling individual
services directly is not available.
Finally, unlisted telephone numbers do not display personal
information. As a result, call takers
are finding it more and more difficult to locate these callers. Cell phone
callers must continue to use street name signs, house numbers and local
physical land marks as the only available identifiers when attempting to
describe their specific location.
Problems arise when, for example, a child or a tourist while knowing or
being able to determine the name of the street, if duplicated elsewhere in the
city, will not be able to confirm the specific location of that particular
street.
Information Consistency
Bell Canada has advised
that a primary objective is the accessibility by all communities across the
province to consistent information and, eventually, wherever 911 services are
provided in Canada. Some of the smaller
municipalities are not as technologically advanced as Ottawa or Toronto and
would not, therefore, be able to utilize or relate to, for example,
geo-technical property coordinate information.
At the outset of the 911
Project, all area municipalities were evaluated by Bell Canada to determine the
status of their database and system capabilities. It was concluded that all systems would be able to accept and share
the basic address information as the common form of identification. In this regard, if geo-code information were
to be considered a viable solution, all area municipalities would first have to
be consulted to ensure this information can be supplied by each municipality
and whether existing systems would be capable of using or exchanging this
information. In addition, as it would
be the responsibility of each municipality to provide this information, of
greater issue to the smaller municipalities may be the cost to establish and
maintain the information.
Recently, in light of the
recognized safety issues, Bell Canada has indicated that, in the future, any
municipality wishing to be included within the new 911 PERS network will have
to first eliminate all duplicate street names.
d) Adding
the Town, Village or Neighborhood Name
To extend an address through additional words, numbers or codes will add complexity to the address, therefore, requiring more information for an individual to remember when under stress. In terms of readability, the street sign is limited in the number of characters that can be displayed before the sign loses structural integrity or the width of the sign creates an obstruction within the road allowance. Further, if an existing name exceeds 22 characters, the size of the letters must be reduced in order to include the full name. This reduces readability thus, creating a safety risk.
The Signs and Pavement Markings Section have indicated that complaints have been received expressing concern that existing signs are too small. Within the second policy report, recommendations will be submitted relating to the conclusions of a best practices review of various forms of signage. Results show that, in order to improve readability, the corporate standard for the size of both the sign blade and the font need to be increased.
In conclusion, for clarity a street name should be as short as possible, clear to interpret and easy to understand.
·
Emergency
Services currently have problems with duplicate names and this option would not
address this underlying concern.
·
A change
in number would still require a formal address change including notification to
all business and personal contacts.
·
All
affected owners and occupants would be required to install new civic numbers,
whereas a street name change would only require notification with a change of
address package which will be provided by Canada Post at no cost.
·
If
number changes were implemented for the affected properties only, existing
sequential numbering would be disrupted.
In this regard, to provide guidance to both emergency and general
service agencies, the new by-law will provide standard suffixes denoting the
scale of the roadway. For example, a
“Court” is defined as a short local street including a cul-de-sac, a “Street”
is a local collector or through street, while a “Boulevard” is a four lane
divided roadway separated by a median.
Similarly, numbering should provide an indication as to the type of
street. For example, a short local
street would have a low number range 0-50; a local collector would have a range
between 10-500, while a major collector would utilize 1000-5000. Thus, when attempting to locate a property,
the number and suffix should provide important indicators. For example, 10 Talbot Rd. would tell a
driver to look for a short local street, whereas, 2410 St. Laurent Blvd. would
indicate a long collector roadway. In
summary, to simply add a number(s) to an existing civic number would not be
consistent with the policy objectives and would result in potential confusion.
Testimonials from the emergency services, delivery businesses who rely on municipal addresses to locate properties, individuals who have experienced addressing problems resulting in emergency response delays and case studies/inquests into deaths and near fatalities linked to streets with the same name and addressing problems in general all emphasized the need for clear, unique addressing.
Street names must be easy to interpret and remember if it is to be accurately relayed to 911 in an emergency. To consider alternatives that, in any way deviate from this objective were found to present potential confusion that result in dispatch delays for the 911 call takers when attempting to clarify the exact location of a caller. With the implementation of the new PERS system, intended to enhance the ability to provide information and direct incoming emergency calls to the appropriate police, fire or ambulance service within seconds, is dependent on the ability to avoid the need to take additional critical seconds to clarify the location of callers. Emergency calls received from cell phones are growing at an alarming rate. As mentioned, currently 38% of all incoming calls to 911 are from cell phones, up 4% from the previous year. In 2000, an additional 21,048 calls were received. Such callers must be able to describe their exact location using only what information is available at the scene of the emergency, i.e., the street name and civic number. If a caller is on a street with a duplicate name and not otherwise familiar with the specific community, additional time must be spent questioning the caller hoping they are able to describe unique physical characteristics of the area, i.e., recognizable landmarks.
Recommended Alternative
Both the objectives of original OTB
Naming and Numbering charter project and the Departments is to recommend a
solution that will address immediate addressing problems stemming from
amalgamation and policies for the future administration of municipal addressing
in the new City of Ottawa.
Based on the alternative solutions outlined in the forgoing discussion, it has been concluded that a change in the street name is considered to be the only and best solution in the provision of optimum clarity with minimum disruption to the residents and businesses of Ottawa. Amalgamation has presented an ideal opportunity to resolve this issue and to involve the affected residents and business in the choice of their new name. A new unique name will provide maximum clarity for emergency services in the protection for our families, friends and visitors to our City. In several cases, the recommended new name will be more representative of the community to which it relates. It will assist the convenience industry by aiding general mail delivery to the correct address, parcel services, calling a taxi or simply ordering a pizza.
The specific recommended name changes represent the conclusions of the study process, the position of the project team and the majority opinion of the affected owners and occupants. Approval of Recommendation 1 will result in the resolution of 96% of the duplicate street names. As outlined in Recommendation 2, where further research may be needed or where petitions received less than a majority support from the community, it is suggested either the petition name be re-circulate or the item be deferred for further analysis.
CONSULTATION
A primary objective of the project has been to ensure that affected
property owners and tenants were given the opportunity to get involved in the
study process and, for those directly affected, in the naming of the public
street to which they are adjacent. To
this end, an extensive public consultation process was included in the project’s
work plan.
The project was divided into three phases. The consultant firm, RANA International, was retained to provide facilitation services. As outlined below, Phase I included the development of evaluation criteria to determine which streets would retain their existing name and which should change. In addition, to refine the street naming and numbering guidelines for later use when considering new street names both for this project and in the future. Phase II involved three Public Meetings intended to provide a project overview, obtain input on the draft evaluation criteria and solicit suggestions for new names. Phase III, the Town Hall meetings, were organized to present the results of the study, discuss the proposed recommendations and, for those streets recommended for change, the optional street names and/or the alternative petition process.
An initial workshop held on May 24, 2000 brought together participants with expertise in street naming and numbering including representatives from each of the emergency services, the area municipalities, representation from the Federation of Citizens, the business sector, and the project team. The purpose was to develop draft evaluation criteria that would be used to determine which of the duplicate streets would retain their name and which should change. The criterion was subsequently refined and submitted to the public for input.
All owners and tenants living and/or working on a street with a duplicate name were invited to attend one of three public meetings held in June at the Gloucester Community Centre, Nepean Sportsplex and the Richmond Community Centre. Of the over 24,000 units notified, approximately 80-100 people attended each of the three meetings or just over 1 percent of the total number of those directly affected.
As mentioned, the purpose for the initial public meetings was to provide a project overview and to solicit input on both the draft evaluation criteria and on the street naming and numbering guidelines to be used within the new municipal addressing by-law. At each meeting, a number of facilitated working groups were formed to give each person the opportunity to express their ideas and concerns. In general, the comments provided were positive and in support of the need to ensure clarity for the emergency services.
Specifically, comments ranged from preferring no change to simply requesting more information about the process, timing and cost. Statistically, the input recorded by RANA (Refer to Document 8, Numerical Summary of Public Input) indicated that there were 630 submissions or approximately 2.6 % of the affected residential and business occupants. Submissions were subsequently review and summarized by the team (specific comments are available on request).
The following are highlights from the comments received:
While the purpose for the initial meetings was to solicit input on the criteria, a large percentage of the comments related to street specific concerns. However, all of the comments and suggestions were reviewed in the development of the final criteria.
Two suggestions put forward by the public were to determine the related costs to residents and businesses, and to identify whether there is “community significance” in the existing name. With regard to cost, while the cost to residents would be fairly equal, a detailed cost analysis of the effect on businesses was not felt to be feasible given the obvious differences of scale and operational methods. Historically, municipalities have not provided compensation for required name changes. However, methods to reduce the financial impact were explored. For example, following City Council approval, the enactment date of the name changes will be delayed six months thus giving businesses and residents an opportunity to exhaust stationery and to notify business contacts and friends. From that date, as mentioned under Implementation Strategy, Canada Post has offered to waive the standard charge for the address change package and forward mail to the new address for 6 months.
With regard to community significance, a new category for “Other Factors” was introduced to capture related issues such as local historic or community significance unique to a given street. Based on public input, the resulting modifications to the original draft criteria are detailed below.
Proposed criteria modifications:
· It is proposed that the “Number of residents and non-residential uses affected” criteria be divided into two categories, i.e.: “residential units” and “businesses.”
· The testing of an original proposed criteria, “Follows Street Naming Guidelines,” revealed that this factor should be applied in the selection of new street name for new development. For the purposes of this exercise, the guidelines are considered too restrictive in the context of trying to find/retain names reflective of the community. As such, the naming guidelines should be “a consideration only” and not a deciding factor in choosing street names.
· The criteria dealing with the length of time a street has existed “Date Street Created” needs to be clarified to indicate when the street was created rather than simply the number of years the name has existed.
· Include as a factor whether the street is a Citywide recognized landmark.

Street forms boundary with or extends into

As stated, the underlying objective has been to minimize impact on those residents and businesses directly affected. Therefore, where there are clearly a greater number of occupants on one street, the recommendation is for the remaining duplicate streets to change their name. If the number of residents and businesses are effectively equal, the other factors with regard to historical significance, the date the street was created, existing theme, etc. were considered.
For those streets identified to undergo a name change, first consideration was given to the names suggested by the affected community. To supplement the number of required names and to provide at least two options for each street, an extensive amount of research was undertaken resulting in a list of over 600 potential names. Since the need to retain historical significance was of prime importance, the principal focus was placed on the research undertaken by local historians, historical societies and available historical information unique to the community, the former municipality and finally the City as a whole.
Where street names were in languages other than English, unless otherwise suggested by the community, the suggested replacement name is in the same language. As set out in the guidelines, all street names are assigned both English and French suffixes. As will be recommended for the new municipal addressing by-law, where a name has accents the accents will appear on the street sign. Finally, it will be recommended that the new municipal addressing by-law permit street names in any language with the provision, regardless of language, that the name does not pose any confusion in terms of interpretation, pronunciation or with other existing street names.
All of the names considered were reviewed to ensure there is no duplication with the 6000 existing names currently within the boundaries of the new City and that the names are generally acceptable in terms of satisfying the proposed naming guidelines.
Phase III - Town Hall Meetings
The final phase of direct public consultations consisted of notification by letter to the affected owners and tenants. The letter included a proposed recommendation and rationale regarding which street should retain the name, street name options for those streets identified to be changed and a form to indicate the preferred optional name to be completed and returned. All owners and tenants were requested to either return the form or to attend one of nine Town Hall meetings.
The purpose for the Town Hall meetings was to outline the evaluation process, discuss the results and recommendations of the study, and optional names as developed by the community, local historians and the team. Professional staff from RANA and the full team was in attendance to facilitate the meeting and to be available to discuss on a one to one basis any specific issues or concerns.
If an individual or the community as a whole were not in support of the optional names, each street was given the opportunity to suggest an alternate name (not otherwise duplicated within the new City) and, using the procedure package provided, were given time to circulate a petition to obtain the consensus of those affected. If a majority of affected owners and occupants were in support of the new name, the recommended name listed in Document 1 has been changed to reflect the community preference.
Notification
An important aspect of the project has been to
ensure that all of the affected residential and business occupants and property
owners were notified of the pubic meetings.
This will also be crucial for notification of the final Council’s
decision concerning specific changes.
At the outset of the project, given that both
urban and rural properties would be affected, it became clear that available
information needed to be enhanced. The
Team initiated an exhaustive process to develop a comprehensive database for
mailing purposes. This information was
also crucial in confirming the number of residents and businesses affected, in
that this would be a critical factor in the evaluation of which street with a
duplicate name would retain their name.

vi. Implementation
Phased
Approach
Following approval of specific name changes and the enactment of the necessary implementing by-law, a phased approach to implementing the actual name changes is recommended. In response to concerns regarding potential confusion if all required address changes were to be implemented simultaneously, it is recommended that there be a delay between phases (to be determined). The by-law enactment date would be segmented with an initial delay for a period of 6 months to give businesses and residents an opportunity to exhaust stationery and notify clients and friends. A phased approach, in consultation with Canada Post, would reduce the need to make multiple address changes. Changes would be made on a geographic basis with an estimated overall implementation period of 12 months.
Notification will be sent to individuals/businesses directly affected, emergency and technical services agencies, for example, IT groups, Bell Canada, Canada Post, the assessment office. Over 150 agencies and groups will be notified (A complete list of contacts is available on request).
Rural
Implications – Postal Service
It is our understanding that most of the rural areas now serviced by P.O. Box or R.R. numbers will retain their current postal mailing address for at least the next 5 to 10 years. While the Department will work with Canada Post to implement simultaneous street name changes with any required postal code changes in the inner city, in light of the above, the required street name changes only will proceed in the rural areas.
Street Signs
Council,
as part of their review of the upcoming policy report, will consider best
practices study results with regard to concerns identified by the public
relating to the design of existing street name signs. The study results regarding size, colour, content and visibility
of street signs has also been referred to the Transportation Utilities and
Public Works Department (TUPW) for their consideration and appropriate action.
To accommodate the required street name changes, it will be necessary to at minimum replace affected street signs. The number of signs and related costs are outlined in the Financial Implications section.
As part of the Departmental work program, where civic number changes are required and within 3 months following enactment of the by-law, the Department will confirm that the affected properties are displaying the official civic number.
Recommendations 2
Where the optional names put forward by the Department were not acceptable to the community, the option to submit a petition suggesting an alternate street name was made available. Petitions were received affecting 47 streets with 10 petitions receiving less that 51% support from the community. Individuals who circulated petitions, indicated that in some cases they were simply unable to contact all of the affected occupants complicated by restricted assess to some apartment buildings. As such, it was difficult to confirm whether the community representative circulating the petition contacted all of the affected residents/businesses.
The Department is of the opinion that the affected communities are fully aware of the issue, have been given the opportunity to participate at several public meetings and that the residents/businesses on the affected streets would likely have been aware of an ongoing petition and the suggested alternate name.
Recommendation 3
As outlined in Document 3, based on the original evaluation the criterion for both Lilac Lanes was effectively equal with a slightly higher number of residents in Ottawa. Further, it was thought that there were an equal number of businesses. Both streets were named based on an existing theme and while the street in Ottawa was established by by-law in 1962, at the time of the evaluation there was no related information for Cumberland. Following the town hall meetings, Cumberland residents have submitted new information confirming that there is a greater number of businesses, evidence to the effect that the street has been in existence prior to 1962 and that the street is lined with Lilac trees. Lilac Lane in Ottawa was one of a number of area streets named after flowers. As such, it has been concluded that the recommendations should be for Ottawa to change its name. To this end, the alternate name “Magnolia” is available and would maintain the established theme.
With regard to Sunset Blvd. in Ottawa and Osgoode, Sunset Boulevard in Osgoode has approximately 58 residential units and 12 businesses that would be impacted by a street name change, in comparison to 28 residential units and 9 businesses in Ottawa. With regard to theme, the Glebe neighborhood in Ottawa has three streets named in recognition of the adjacent lake (Dow’s Lake). The streets in the Osgoode development form part of a planned community with many of the street names incorporating the word “lake”, given that there are three lakes in the project and the subdivision itself is named “Sunset Lakes.” The street in the Glebe is older having been established circa 1862 and register in 1922 while the street in Osgoode was developed as a natural extension of an existing street called Sunset Blvd. built over 50 years ago.
Given that in Osgoode a greater number of residents and businesses would be affected, their theme is stronger and associated costs would be higher, the Department is recommending a name change for Ottawa. However, in recognition of the considerable community support to retain the existing name for historical purposes, the suggested alternate names for Ottawa have incorporated the name “Sunset” (Sunset View or Sunset Vista). Another suggested option was to become part of the adjacent Opeongo Road, in that Sunset Blvd. curves north forming a natural extension of Opeongo. Further, in that the Opeongo residents have supported a petition to re-name their street “Dow’s Lake Road” this name would retain the link to the lake for the Sunset Blvd. residents.
Since the residents in Ottawa remain in opposition to a name change, recommendation 3 has been structured to provide the option to either approved the recommended name or refer the issue to staff for further public consultation.
The specific cases in this category are detailed in Document 3.
Recommendation 4
Pursuant to Section 210 of the Municipal Act,
to change the name of a highway, the municipality having jurisdiction must
first pass a by-law. The new name has
no effect until a certified copy of the by-law has been registered in the
Property Land Registry Office. Further,
that a notice of the proposed by-law must be published at least once a week on
four successive weeks in a newspaper having general circulation in the
municipality and the Council has heard any person who claims to be adversely
affected.
Prior to this meeting, notification has been
published in the local newspapers and a letter sent to those
individuals/businesses who have provided input. As indicated in the Disposition section, the Legal Services
Branch is responsible to undertake required title searches, registration and to
prepare the implementing by-law for consideration by Council as detailed in Document
9.
