U.S. Virgin Islands Street Addressing Initiative Pilot Project Findings & Next Steps What is the Street Addressing Initiative? (SAI) The SAI is a project spearheaded by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor to develop a logical and standardized addressing system for the territory Addressing is expected to the territory. Addressing is expected to provide a range of benefits for the USVI, such as an improved E-911 system, greater use of GPS technology and easier navigability of our roadways.

Pilots are designed to identify issues & show citizens how the project works Pilot areas consist of approximately
Pilot areas consist of approximately 550 property parcels each
One on each island (STT, STJ, STX) − Variety of geographies − Variety of “attitudes” Overview of the Pilot Projects • We established a new system for structuring and assigning addresses • We tested that system in the field We tested that system in the field • We created and documented approximately 1,500 new addresses What is an Address Referencing System?
Addresses work when they are orderly and consistent − People on the street can understand them − Computers can understand them − Street signs & numbers on buildings provide guidance
The ARS provides the guidelines for determining the p g g numbers of all addresses in the territory
Three basic rules: 1. A “beginning” of each street is defined 2. The numbers increase as you move away from the beginning 3. There is an odd and even side of the street (also know as “numeric parity”) Example of logical addressing systems Proposed ARS for the USVI • Each island divided into an East and West addressing zone – Each zone has a “point of beginning” (POB) in the major city • The size of your address number is a function of how far away from the POB you are • Each street is assigned a beginning point – The end of the street closest to the POB – Numbers increase as you move away from beginning point – Odd/even side of streets is assigned Overview of addressing process • Data preparation work – To understand what addresses need to be created – Aerial photo, parcel and street centerline data sets • Delicate address assignment process – Ensure all streets are named – Ensure we know which structures need addresses – Creation of “door hanger” documents • Fieldwork – To confirm assignments – To notify citizens and businesses • Creating and validating the new address data sets Then, a few relevant details to better understand lessons learned Field work objectives • Field crews visit every structure • Explain process to homeowners/businesses – “Project ambassadors” • Leave a “door hanger” – Describes “existing address” – Relays “new address” – Asks resident/owner to validate • Capture a GPS point and photo at each structure The Door Hangers Each one is unique gm STREET ©@ fis ADDRESSING INITIATIVE About the Street Addressing Initiative RETURN 1 ADDR mee _ a ; Kings Quarter has been selected as a This is the first step in implementing a logical and This form ce standardized addressi th the U.S. as the ney i 1 1 Virgin lands.

Moving forward territorywide will take • Resources (funds, dedicated field crews, equipment, etc.) • Increased public education • Greater community involvement in naming our territory’s streets • Continued stakeholder participation Questions?
