Report Overview
On December 16th, 2013, Council directed staff to name a street "Limbs Way" within the
Farsight Homes draft approved plan of subdivision in Bowmanville west of Lambs Road.
There are 4 other streets within this future plan of subdivision, which is abutting the
Bowmanville Zoo. It is recommended that Council also consider naming these streets with
other animal names associated with the Bowmanville Zoo.
1 . Background
On December 16, 2013 Council directed that street I draft approved plan of subdivision
S-C 2005-002, shown in Figure 1, be named Limba Way to honour the memory of the
then recently deceased elephant Limba.
2. Comments
In consideration of the long history of the Bowmanville Zoo and the proximity of this
institution to the future subdivision to be developed by Far Sight Homes, Council may
wish to consider creating a theme for that neighbourhood, in part using other names
associated with the Bowmanville Zoo. The Bowmanville Zoo, founded in 1919, is the
oldest private zoo in North America. There are 5 streets within the draft approved plan
of subdivision.
Using animal or zoo-related street names would require a departure from Council's
policy to use names of war dead and war veterans. However, it is limited to 4 additional
names and would be consistent with Council's previous decision regarding naming a
street "Limbs Way".
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 178 has been consulted and they have no
objection.
3. Concurrence
Not Applicable
4. Conclusion
If Council concurs with this direction, staff will work with the developer and Bowmanville
Zoo to determine mutually satisfactory names. The developer will want to ensure that
the names selected do not detract from the marketing strategy.
5. Strategic Plan Application
Not applicable.
