Background:
I have a request from Allen Rae Architect Incorporated on behalf of Universe Investments, to name the proposed private lane, 14.1 metres north of Queen Street East extending westerly from Kent Road, ADorothy Bullen Place@. The proposed name is to commemorate Dorothy Bullen, the great, great grand-daughter of Sarah Ashbridge.

Sarah Ashbridge brought her family from Pennsylvania to settle in York in 1793.
