Subject:Naming of Proposed Public Streets - Governor's Hill Drive and Hampton Park Crescent (Ward 1 - East York)

Purpose:

This report recommends that the two proposed public streets at the new subdivision located south of Nesbitt Drive and west of Bayview Avenue, be named "Governor's Hill Drive" and "Hampton Park Crescent."

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not Applicable

Recommendations:

(1)That the proposed public street located west of Bayview Avenue, extending southerly from Nesbitt Drive, be named "Governor's Hill Drive";

(2)That the proposed public street extending easterly from Governor's Hill Drive, be named "Hampton Park Crescent"; and

(2)That the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Councillor Michael Prue has requested that I report on the submission from Cathie Gilbert of Jasamax Holdings Limited (60 Tiverton Court, Suite 300, Markham, On L3R 0G4) to name the two proposed public streets in the proposed subdivision located south of Nesbitt Drive and west of Bayview Avenue. The name Governor's Hill Drive relates to the Governor's Bridge, located near the site. The name Hampton Park Crescent is named after the original planned project for the site. Both names are variations of a list of names provided by the Governor's Bridge Resident Association.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

The proposed names have been circulated to Councillor Case Oates, Councillor Jane Pitfield, Toronto Planning, Fire Services and Heritage Toronto. Councillor Jane Pitfield, Toronto Planning and Fire Services have no objection to the proposed names. The submission from Cathie Gilbert, set out in Appendix "A," indicates that the Governor's Bridge Resident Association and the East York District Planning Department support the proposed street names.

Conclusions:

The proposed street names Governor's Hill Drive and Hampton Park Crescent are generally acceptable and should be approved for use in the proposed subdivision south of Nesbitt Drive, west of Bayview Avenue.

Re:Governor's Bridge Estates

Bayview Avenue and Nesbitt Drive

Draft Plan 55T-81048

As per our telephone conversation, I would like to request the street names for the above mentioned subdivision. There are two streets in the subdivision, for the crescent we request Hampton Park Crescent which is named after the original planned project for the site. For the main street we request Governor's Hill Drive named after Governor's Bridge. Both are variations of a list of names provided by the Governor's Bridge Resident Association.

As I mentioned, both the Resident Association and the East York District Planning Department have approved these names. Jean Besz of the Planning Department gave me your name to finalize the street names on the plan of subdivision.

Please, if you need further information call me at 905-477-7609. Thank you for your attention.
