Naming of Lane, north of Kingston Road, westerly
between Premises 24 and 26 Lawlor Avenue
(East Toronto)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(March 12, 1998) from the City Engineer, City Works Services:
Purpose:
This report recommends that the public lane 92.3 metres north of Kingston Road, between
premises 24 and 26 Lawlor Avenue extending westerly to the existing "Jim Samuel Lane," be
named "Jim Samuel Lane."
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
(1) That the public lane, 92.3 metres north of Kingston Road between premises
24 and 26 Lawlor Avenue extending westerly to the existing "Jim Samuel Lane,"
illustrated on the enclosed "MAP A," be named "Jim Samuel Lane."
(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 may be
required.
Background:
City Council at it's meeting of July 14, 1997, enacted By-law 1997-0359, dedicating the private
lane between 25 and 29 Pickering Street and 24 and 26 Lawlor Avenue, illustrated on the
attached sketch, for public lane purposes. The by-law also named the portion of the lane between
25 and 29 Pickering Street "Jim Samuel Lane." Jim Samuel initiated the effort which led to the
City acquiring the private lane. He was a World War II Veteran and was well known in the area.
Comments:
A street sign has now been erected at the entrance to the easterly portion of the lane between 24
and 26 Lawlor Avenue and, as such, it is appropriate to also name this portion of the lane "Jim
Samuel Lane."
