The Toronto Community Council submits the following report (February 4, 1998) from the Commissioner, City Works Services:
Purpose:
This report recommends that the proposed public street, 63.6 metres east of Leslie Street between Memory Lane and Sears Street, be named ABrick Court@. The street is being named to facilitate numbering of the entrances to the proposed row house units fronting thereon.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
(1) That the proposed public street located 63.6 metres east of Leslie Street between Memory Lane and Sears Street, illustrated on the enclosed AMap A@, be named ABrick Court@; and
(2) 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 are required.
Background:
I have a request from Harry Kohn of SKMV Architects to name the proposed public street at the new housing development located at 61 Leslie Street, ABrick Court@. The proposed name is to acknowledge that nine brickyards, with significant deposits of clay, existed in the area around the 1850's.
Comments:
The proposed name ABrick Court@ has been circulated for comment to Councillors Tom Jakobek and Sandra Bussin and has the support of Metro Planning, Heritage Toronto, Toronto Fire Services and the Beach and East Toronto Historical Society.
Conclusions:
The proposed name ABrick Court@ is consistent with the policy for naming streets and lanes approved by City Council on July 11, 1988 ( Clause 4, Executive Report No. 22 ).
