Naming of Public Street -

Mathersfield Drive (Midtown)

The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (December1, 1998) from the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services:

Purpose:

This report recommends that the public street located between Mathersfield Drive and Pricefield Road, be named Mathersfield Drive.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendations:

(1)That the public street located between Mathersfield Drive and Pricefield Road, illustrated on Map A attached, be named "Mathersfield Drive"; and

(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 and Comments:

The land comprising the street located between Mathersfield Drive and Pricefield Road was closed as a park and laid out as public highway by By-law 1995-0657. The street which is proposed to be named, is now considered the southerly extension of Mathersfield Drive, laid out and dedicated by plan of subdivision 66M-2314, registered on November 17, 1997. As part of the plan of subdivision approval process, the proposed street name Mathersfield Drive was circulated to and approved for use by Planning and Development, Fire Services, Heritage Toronto officials and the Rosedale Ratepayers Association. Also, Councillors John Adams and Ila Bossons do not object to the use of this street name. It is now appropriate that the unnamed continuation of the street be formally named Mathersfield Drive.
