Origin
Summary
This report recommends that Item TE8.7 originally adopted on September 16, 2019 be revised to correct omissions to allow for the addition of Ward 14 – Toronto Danforth to the original report and sketch and also to provide for the inclusion of Councillor Fletcher's comments.
Ward 14 – Toronto Danforth was inadvertently omitted from the original report due a misinterpretation of the ward boundary as it related to Coxwell Avenue. Going forward, Staff reports for the naming of roads which straddle two ward boundaries will reflect the two adjacent wards.
This report recommends approval of the re-naming of a portion of portion of Coxwell Avenue between Queen Street East and Lake Shore Boulevard East, to "Lower Coxwell Avenue"
