Streets with the same names can prove problematic when merging two cities. Fire Chief Mike Irwin said care could be delayed as first responders determine to which street they should go. “We have to take steps to confirm by asking where they live and where they are,” said Police Chief Mike Peters of the department’s 911 dispatchers. “We need them to say ‘Springdale’ or ‘Bethel Heights.’” For now, dispatchers put the letters BH behind the street names when the location is in the former Bethel Heights. Peters said the department fielded about 20 calls from the former Bethel Heights area in the first six days after annexation. Mayor Doug Sprouse wants to change the street would impact the least number of people, he said in the City Council’s work session Aug. 31.
