Origin: The Planning and Development Department in conjunction with the Public Works Department is reporting on the concerns raised by the impacted residences. Report to: Planning and Development Committee Report number: PL 98-16 Page 1 of 5 Page 5 of 257 Agenda Item # 5.1 4. Background: On June 13, 2016 the Planning and Development and Public Works Departments brought forward a recommendation report, PL 63-16, to rename a number of existing streets/roads due to the construction of the 412 and 407 highways (see Attachment #1). Discussions with emergency personnel at the time advised that it was necessary to rename the streets/roads divided by the construction of the 412 and 407 highways. A number of written submissions were provided in response to the street name change notice circulated by the office of the Clerk. A number of residents attending the Committee meeting were advised that the report was going to be referred back to Staff to confirm the need for the proposed street name changes. 5. Discussion/Options: Staff met with Durham Regional Police and Whitby Fire and Emergency Services requesting that the street names and suffixes for Halls Road, Country Lane and Garrard Road remain unchanged. It was agreed that existing street names could remain unchanged with the following two (2) exceptions: Lake Ridge Road As part of the 412 highway construction north of the 401 highway, a new Lake Ridge Road access has been installed which by passes the Almond Subdivision. The original Lake Ridge Road will remain in order to provide access to the property owners in the subdivision. The Durham Regional Police and Whitby Fire and Emergency Services support a name change for the original Lake Ridge Road to Old Lake Ridge Road which would be between Almond and Cresser Avenue as shown on Attachment #2. The use of Old Lake Ridge Road was a name recommended by a petition. The renaming of Lake Ridge Road South to Old Lake Ridge Road will require seven (7) property owners to change their personal information to reflect the new street name.
