Subject:Naming of the public lane 38.1 metres west of Markham Street between Barton Avenue and Palmerston Square -
St. Peter=s Lane ( Ward 23 - Midtown )
Purpose:
This report recommends that the public lane 38.1 metres west of Markham Street between Barton Avenue and Palmerston
Square be named ASt. Peter=s Lane.@ The naming of the lane will facilitate vehicular access to properties on Palmerston
Square.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
- That the public lane 38.1 metres west of Markham Street between Barton Avenue and Palmerston Square, illustrated on
AMAP A@ attached, be named ASt. Peter=s Lane.@
- That the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto,
including the introduction in Council of any Bills that may be required.
Background:
I have a request from Nancy White, owner of the property at 64 Palmerston Square, to name the public lane located 38.1
metres west of Markham Street between Barton Avenue and Palmerston Square. The name ASt. Peter=s Lane@ was
chosen from a list provided by Ms. White and is considered suitable as the lane is adjacent to the St. Peter Catholic School.
Due to the configuration of one-way streets in the neighbourhood, the primary means of vehicular access to Palmerston
Square is from the south. The naming of the lane will simplify directions to motorists seeking the properties on Palmerston
Square.
Comments:
The proposed name ASt. Peter=s Lane@ has been circulated for comment and has the support of Councillors John Adams
and Ila Bossons, Toronto Planning, Heritage Toronto and Toronto Fire Services.
Conclusions:
The proposed name ASt. Peter=s Lane@ is consistent with the policy for naming streets and lanes approved by City
Council on July 11, 1988 (Clause 4, Executive Committee Report No. 22).
