The purpose of this chapter is to better enhance the County
of Bradford 9-1-1 Emergency Communication System and to provide for
a uniform countywide addressing system with respect to naming of streets
and roadways; fabrication, erection and maintenance of street name
signs; address posting requirements; enforcement procedures; and assigning
street or house numbers to all residences and principal buildings
and businesses to assist fire, rescue, ambulance companies, law enforcement
agencies, the United States Postal Service and the public in the timely
and efficient provision of services to residents and businesses of
Bradford County.
The implementation of the uniform standards for naming streets
and an addressing system is in conjunction with County of Bradford
and the Bradford County 9-1-1 Emergency Communications System. This
chapter is established in conjunction with the County of Bradford
in implementing and developing a master street address guide and coordinating,
designating and naming of addresses pursuant to the street naming
and address policy. Enforcement of the chapter shall remain the responsibility
of the Towanda Borough Council; however, the County of Bradford shall
coordinate and assist Towanda Borough in enforcement.
The Borough of Towanda shall establish street names as chosen
by the Borough of Towanda or land developer or landowner, and street
or house numbers in accordance with the guidelines as set forth and
described in Exhibit A, Bradford County Street Naming and Addressing
Policy. Establishment of any street names and addresses will be
coordinated with the County of Bradford pursuant to the Street Naming
and Addressing Policy. The designation of street names and addresses
by the Borough of Towanda shall require the approval of the County
of Bradford so as to coordinate such designations and to comply with
the County of Bradford Street Naming and Addressing Policy.
