1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 This year, two subdivisions are proceeding to final plan registration and construction
phases on lands between Middle Road and Scugog Street, north of Longworth Avenue.
These subdivisions were approved in the early 1990's with some recent changes to the
draft approved plans. With the construction of these subdivisions, the new urban road
system intersects with Scugog Street in a number of locations. The result is that
Scugog Street is broken up into several different sections which are not continuous (see
Attachment 1).
The outcome is that while the road system is better aligned to serve urban traffic in this
new neighbourhood, it will create some confusion with understanding the street names
and numbering with discontinuous sections of the street. One option is to consider
renaming sections of the street.
2.0 DISCUSSION
2.1 Staff is fully aware of the difficulties presented by undertaking a street renaming
exercise, however, this is the time to consider this option before new homes are built
and potentially larger numbers of residents are affected. It is possible for staff to consult
with the residents and obtain their views on the possibility of renaming portions of
Scugog Street.
The number of households and businesses/organizations affected by a potential street
renaming are identified below. Given the number of residents and
businesses/organizations affected in the Queen Street to Longworth Avenue segment, it
is not recommended that this segment be considered for renaming.

TOTAL
Staff would hold a workshop to explain the revisions to the road system with the new
development and conduct a series of breakout groups to consider options for renaming.
Residents and organizations affected would be asked to make a recommendation on
any new street name. There is the opportunity for some local identity to be
acknowledged in the street renaming process. For example, war veterans of Dutch
origin could be recognized.

2.2 It is recommended that should the street-renaming occur, the same policy of
compensation be continued from the 911 street-renaming exercise, that is payment of
$50.00 remuneration for residences with changed addresses and $150.00 for
businesses and organizations with changed addresses.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 With the pending development in north-central Bowmanville, it is recommended that
staff be authorized to hold workshops with residents of Scugog Street, north of
Longworth Avenue to consider the possible renaming of portions of Scugog Street.
Staff will report back as soon as possible. .
