Yesterday, I tried the EMS station in Springdale but they gave me a look like a deer caught in headlights. Today, I took a cart ride down to the Marion County police substation at RT 42 but I found out that the cart path there is under construction and could not get through. And yes I read all of the multinodal path bulletins but it did not dawn on me that the access to the police substation was closed. It was a nice ride and it cooled me off from my golf outing this morning.
I sent a note to The Villages and was sent a PDF that covers it all with all of the whereas and wherefores but I am asking to see if I can post the entire PDF. I don't want to get into any trouble.
But as a forerunner, here are some excerpts. Enjoy!!
WHEREAS the E9-1-1 Emergency Number Telephone System is intricately
intertwined, related to and dependent upon a uniform addressing system; and
WHEREAS, Marion county recognizes that readily locating and finding the proper location is vital to providing fire and emergency services
WHEREAS E9-1-1 Emergency Number Telephone System is established to
promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Marion County, Florida; and the Board of County Commissioners of Marion County has determined that it is in the best interest of the public health, safety and well being of the citizens of Marion County to use and enforce a uniform street numbering system, so that every building in Marion County shall have a uniquely numbered address;
There is adopted for the numbering, naming and designation of thoroughfares,
alleys, and public and private ways in the County, the system known as the Quadrant System whereby the County is divided into four Sections designated northeast (NE), northwest (NW), southeast (SE) and southwest (SW).
1. Avenue: A north/south running road, primarily within the first third of the grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line.
2. Avenue Road: A north/south running meandering road within the first third of its grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line, usually crossing grid lines, named from the most major intersection.
3. Court: A north/south running road, primarily within the second third of the grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line.
4. Court Road: A north/south running meandering road within the second third of its grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line, usually crossing grid lines, named from the most major intersection.
5. Terrace: A north/south running road, named primarily from the third third of the grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line.
6. Terrace Road: A north/south running meandering road within the third third of its grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line, usually crossing grid lines, named from the most major intersection.
7. Circle: A north/south road that takes a circular position, ends back upon itself, ends back upon another road from which it originates or takes any shape other than a conventional quadrant system road name designation.
8. Street: An east/west running road, named primarily from the first third of the grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line.
9. Street Road: An east/west running meandering road within the first third of its grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line, usually crossing grid lines, named from the most major intersection.
10. Place: An east/west running road, named primarily from the second third of the grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line.
11. Place Road: An east/west running meandering road within the second third of its grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line, usually crossing grid lines, named from the most major intersection.
12. Lane: An east/west running road, named primarily from the third third of the grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line.
13. Lane Road: An east/west running meandering road within the third third of its grid, closest to the zero (0) grid line, usually crossing grid lines, named from the most major intersection.
14. Loop: An east/west road that takes a circular position, ends back upon itself, ends back upon another road from which it originates or takes any shape other than a conventional quadrant system road name designation.
So it you made it this far it is like I said in my original post. I live in Marion county. My understanding is that the direction (SE, etc) and the number (91st, etc) is for fire and police call directions.
THe PDF is is from the Marion County website and is their ordinance.
Here is the full PDF for the doubters:
