Community Council Decision

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

 

1. Approved the name "Jewish Folk Choir Lane" for the existing public lane bounded by Harbord Street, Palmerston Boulevard, Ulster Street and Euclid Avenue.

Origin

(April 3, 2019) Report from the Director, Engineering Support Services, Engineering and Construction Services

Summary

The Palmerston Area Residents Association recently requested the naming of 8 existing public lanes bounded by Harbord Street, Markham Street, College Street and Grace Street.  At its meeting on February 14, 2019, Toronto and East York Community Council adopted Item TE3.1 which named 7 of these lanes. The 8th lane was not named at that meeting because proper consent had not yet been provided for this name. Consent has since been received, and this report recommends that the name "Jewish Folk Choir Lane" be approved to identify the remaining existing public lane.

 

Community Councils have delegated authority to decide street naming matters which comply with the City of Toronto Street Naming Policy.
