name change was advertised for four (4) consecuti ve weeks
within the Canadian statesman, Orono Weekly Times and Courtice
News.
2.2 At the time of writing this report, one resident disagreed
with the name Tobacco Road and commented that it is
inappropirate to promote tobacco and the tobacco industry.
3. STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 By-law 86-112, which was passed by Council on July 28, 1986
established the names of all streets wi thin the Town of
Newcastle.
3.2 Concession Road 4 is presently maintained on a year-round
basis from Regional Road 42, westerly to Lot 4. The road is
then re-established in Lot 7 and is maintained through to Lot
15. Although the road allowance remains, an open road does
not exist between Lot 16 and Lot 27. At this point, the road
is opened and maintained to Regional Road 55, however, it has
been named Pebblestone Road.
It is the portion of Concession Road 4 located in lots 1 to
4 that has been proposed that the street name be changed to
Tobacco Road (See attached). It is proposed that the name
Concession Road 4 will resume at Lot 7 and extend to Lot 15.
The road allowance located in lots 4 - 6 is not maintained by
the Town of Newcastle.
3.3 The requests for the proposed street name change was made by
a resident currently residing on Concession Road 4. The
resident felt that since tobacco has been cultivated on farms
abutting this road since 1948, it was important to entrench,
through the change of street name, that tobacco was the market
crop for. farms in that area.
