The Toronto Community Council submits the following report (February 4, 1998) from the Commissioner, City Works Services:
Purpose:
This report recommends that the public lane 17.2 metres south of Danforth Avenue between Craven Road and Rhodes Avenue be named AAzzarello Lane@. The lane is being named to facilitate numbering of the entrances fronting thereon.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.

(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 Cynthia Murphy of The Goldman Group to name the public lane, 17.2 metres south of Danforth Avenue between Craven Road and Rhodes Avenue, to identify the residential entrances fronting the public lane. The proposed name is taken from the Azzarello family who were merchants in the area beginning in the late 1920's, according to the John E. Zucci book AItalians in Toronto@. The family continues to operate the business in the east end of Toronto, as they have for four generations.
Comments:
The proposed name AAzzarello Lane@ 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 AAzzarello Lane@ is consistent with the policy for naming streets and lanes approved by City Council on July 11, 1988 ( Clause 4, Executive Report No. 22 ).
