1. BACKGROUND
1.1 On September 16, 2013, Council passed a resolution authorizing staff to hold a public
information centre and to advertise the renaming of:
• the portion of Solina Road south of Highway 401 together with the portion of
Osborne Road extending east from Osborne Road to Solina Road, to Crago
Road, with the fee for Ms. Crago's request for the above street name changes
being waived by Council;
• the portion of South Service Road east of Solina Road to Waverley Road, to
Energy Drive;
• the portion of South Service Road west of Solina Road to an energy themed
name; and
• the portion of Courtice Road south of the (future) intersection with Energy Drive
to an alternate name, potentially with a waterfront theme.
1.2 Staff organized a public information session to provide information on the proposed
changes and to get input from affected property owners and tenants. Notices were sent
by first class mail to all affected landowners and as many tenants as could be located.
Only one Courtice resident attended. He was not directly affected by the proposed
street name changes. He supported the name change for South Service Road east of
Osborne and Courtice Road south of Highway 401.

1.3 Staff reported to Committee on November 25, 2013 on the proposed street name
changes as shown on Figure 1. Council approved all of the street names as
recommended with the exception of renaming the westerly portion of South Service
road, which was proposed as Megawatt Street. Council did not support this
recommendation and directed staff to report back on a suitable road name for Council's
consideration.
2. DISCUSSION
2.1 The following names have been approved by the Region as potential street names:
• Atomic • Luminous • Proton
• Current • Megawatt • Radiant
• Fission • Neutron • Renewable
• Kilowatt • Nuclear
2.2 Council can select a name from the above list or propose an alternative street name. A
name not on this list would have to be approved by the Region. Council can also
choose a suffix for the street name as well (Street, Avenue, etc.).
2.3 Under the Municipal Act, the proposed street name change will have to be advertised
notifying residents of the meeting at which the street name change will be considered.
Our practice is to advertise it in the newspaper for two weeks.
2.4 Following the appropriate notice period, a report would be forwarded to Committee for
approval.
3. CONCLUSION
3.1 As directed by Council, a list of alternative street names has been developed and
vetted by the Region. Committee can select an energy-related street name from the
above list or propose alternative street name.
