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 portion of the City-owned lane known as Renfrew Place and the City owned lanes known as St. Patrick's Market and St. Patrick's Square, illustrated on the attached "MAP A," be officially named.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendations:

(1) That the City-owned lane located between the existing portions of Renfrew Place east of John Street and west of McCaul Street, illustrated on "MAP A" attached, be named "Renfrew Place";

(2) That the City-owned lane located 35.1 metres east of John Street extending between Queen Street West and Stephanie Street and illustrated on "MAP A" attached, be named "St. Patrick's Market";

(3) That the City-owned lane located 33.7 metres west of McCaul Street extending between Queen Street West and Stephanie Street and illustrated on "MAP A" attached, be named "St. Patrick's Square"; and

(4) 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:

The portion of the lane known as Renfrew Place, and the lanes known as St. Patrick's Market and St. Patrick's Square, illustrated on "MAP A" attached, have been laid out as public highways by By-law 343-93, and will be dedicated shortly. The lanes have been identified with street name signs for many years and there are several properties using St. Patrick's Square municipal addresses.

Comments:

Since the lanes are currently identified and known as "Renfrew Place," "St. Patrick's Market" and "St. Patrick's Square," it would be appropriate to include these names in the draft by-law dedicating the lanes as public highways, to make the names official.
