Council approve the name "Reese Fallon Way" for an existing public lane located south
of Gerrard Street East, extending easterly from Wayland Avenue.
Origin
Summary
This report recommends that the name "Reese Fallon Way" be approved to identify an existing public lane located south of Gerrard Street East, extending easterly from Wayland Avenue.
This naming proposal complies with the City of Toronto Street Naming Policy which can be found at https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/street-naming/. The proposal is also in alignment with the objectives of the Draft Principles for Commemoration in the Public Realm.
City Council has previously directed that no new applications to name or rename streets or other civic properties received after October 1, 2020, be considered while a review of the City's commemorative policies and programs is underway. Since the proposed laneway naming was initiated and public engagement began prior to October 1, 2020, staff are recommending that the application be approved despite the moratorium. City Council approval is required to authorize this exception.
