Because much of the de- velopment along, Goodpasture zs~land Raab occurred when the properties were still in the County, duplications occurred when addresses were assigned on properties within the City. The post office has re~ueste~ that the name be changed for por- bons of Goodpasture Island Road to eliminate the duplicate addresses, and the Eugene-Springfield Ambulance service, the fire department, r and the Eugene Police department have a~,so expressed their concerns that response time during emergencies could be adversely affected by the duplicate numbers. Considerable de~relopment has occurred along Goodpasture Island Road, and changing the name could result in inconvenience to many of those people. However, the confusan that presently exists must be resolved, and based upon the reco~mendations of the Planning Commis sion, and the testimony before that Co~nm.ssion and this Council, it appears that the confusion can be eliminated by: ~a} retaining the name of Goodpasture Island Road far the entire street extending from ordinance -- 1
