1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The lands between Middle Road and Scugog Street will be developing over the next few
years. In December 2004 draft approved plan of subdivision 18T-87086 was registered as
Plan 40M-2225. Draft approved plan of subdivision 18T-87085 is proceeding quickly
toward registration. With the construction of these subdivisions, the new road network
intersects with Scugog Street in several locations. Consequently, Scugog Street is divided
into several distinct segments that are not continuous (Attachment 1). The discontinuity
will generate some confusion with the street names and numbering. On October 25, 2004
Council authorized Staff to consult with residents with respect to changing the street name
for segments of Scugog Street.
1.2 The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the results of the Public Information
Session that was held on the evening of November 30, 2004 at the Garnet B. Rickard
Recreation Complex. This report also seeks authorization to advertise the proposed street
name changes and hold the subsequent public meeting.
2.0 PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION
2.1 Staff organized and attended a public information session at the Garnet B. Rickard
Recreation Complex in an effort to obtain input from the various property owners with
respect to the above-mentioned need to change street names. Notices were sent by first
class mail to all landowners on Scugog Street north of the intersection with Middle Road.
At the session a few people were in favour of the street name changes. A few people
were strongly opposed but, the large majority although opposed at the start of the meeting,
came to understand the need for the changes and reluctantly agreed to work with staff on
the selection of the new names.
2.2 Residents were given the opportunity to propose a new street name or select a street
name from an approved list of war dead, war veteran and historical street names. Most
residents wanted to retain some reference to "Scugog" in the new street name. Thus
North Scugog Court and West Scugog Lane were selected.
. West SCUqOq Lane
This proposed name, used on Scugog Street from Middle Road to Bons Avenue,
with a new street extension going directly north to Concession Road 3 (Attachment
1) currently has 11 households. Four (4) households were at the session.
. North SCUqOq Court
This proposed name, used on Scugog Street from Bons Avenue to a future cul-de-
sac immediately south of Concession Road 3 (Attachment 1) will be used by 12
current households. Six (6) households were at the session and representatives of
Knox Christian School were in attendance.

The Durham Region Planning Department has approved the two names selected, for use
by Clarington.
3.0 OTHER STREET SEGMENTS
3.1 Middle Road
It is proposed that Middle Road from its current southern terminus at Scugog Street, north
to Concession Road 3 (Attachment 1) be renamed Scugog Street. The intersection at a
concession road is a more appropriate location for the transition of street names. The only
municipal street address for this road segment is St. Stephens Secondary School. The
separate school board, has verbally indicated that they accept the Municipality's right to re-
name a street but ask that the timing be suitable for St. Stephen's Secondary School.
3.2 Jackman Road
The opening of the Longworth Bridge and its westerly connection to Regional Road 57 in
December 2004 necessitate the renaming of the portion of Jackman Road between
Longworth Bridge and Regional Road 57 (Attachment 1) at this time, to Longworth Avenue
and therefore, it has been included with the Scugog Street renamings. There are no
municipal street addresses on this segment of Jackman Road.
4.0 NEXT STEPS
4.1 The Municipal Act requires that a Public Notice be given prior to holding a public meeting
on a street name change. It is proposed that a public meeting be held on February 21,
2005.
4.2 It will be important to consider the timing of the street name changes in order to give
people time to give notice of their change of address. It is recommended that the name
changes for Scugog Street and Middle Road be effective September 1, 2005. This timing
works well for the three schools affected by the street name change since it occurs at the
start of a new school year.
There are no households impacted by the renaming of Jackman Road, thus it would be
renamed effective March 1, 2005.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS
5.1 It is recommended that staff be authorized to advertise a Public Meeting for the street
names changes identified in Sections 2 and 3 of this report.
