Report
The Public Information Meeting this
date was to consider a street name change of the by-passed section of original
Woodbine Avenue to Victoria Square Boulevard.
The Committee Clerk advised that 172 notices were mailed on October 14,

on October 15, 2015. Four written submissions were received regarding this
proposal.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the renaming of the by-passed
section of Woodbine Avenue to Victoria Square Boulevard.
Melody Doak questioned the method of numbering the new
road. Staff advised of options available. The residents in attendance indicated
that the practical solution would be to leave the last three digits.
Nancy Brumwell noted the numerous documents that will
have to be updated with the new address, and questioned coordination with
Canada Post regarding delivery to the mail boxes. Staff advised that Canada
Post is aware of the change and that there will be no charge for address changes
for the first 12 months. The City can provide helpful information and a
checklist with regard to requirements for address change notifications, and the
Ward Councillor may hold a community information meeting. Ms. Brumwell
suggested alternate names such as Elm Street be considered.
Denis Charron, representing the Victoria Square
Ratepayers Association questioned it there are any other implications with respect
to the City assuming the road. Staff advised that a Class Environmental Assessment
