Maricopa Senior Planner Rodolfo Lopez addressing city council
The Maricopa City Council approved name changes for three Maricopa roads.
The changes only affected roads inside various subdivisions around Maricopa. Ramona Street in the Santa Rosa Spring subdivision will now be named Rojo Street. West Orvieto Way in the Sorrento subdivision will now be West Meta Way, and North Caven Drive in the Rancho El Dorado subdivision will now be North Braden Road.
The name changes around Maricopa were made in conjunction with the Postal Service and emergency services in the area. The city hopes this will avoid any confusion of mix ups during emergency calls or mail deliveries.
“One thing we did proactively to avoid issues was to discuss the [new roads] with our postmaster,” Maricopa Senior Planner Rodolfo Lopez said. “Our postmaster explained to us that the new addresses will be linked permanently between the existing and proposed addresses.
The council also unanimously passed a resolution for a public trail and open space easement in the Province subdivision. The resolution states Maricopa will take over care and maintenance of the trail running along the Santa Rosa Wash. The trail will go through Province on one side, and the Villages on the other.
