Arlene Grégoire, Chief Building Official and Director of Building Code Services, provided an overview of the report and recommendations.  She was accompanied by Councillor Chiarelli, who initiated the original motion and conducted much of the consultation as outlined in the report.  A copy of the PowerPoint presentation is held on file with the City Clerk.

 

In response to a question from Councillor Hubley, Ms. Grégoire indicated that there were 10 residences along Robertson Road that would be affected by the name change; each was sent a letter and no feedback was received. She explained that all residents residing along Robertson Road would have all their street name and street numbers changed as a result of the name change.

 

In response to questions from Councillors Hubley and Qadri on the possibility of extending Robertson Road to Baseline Road instead of renaming it, Ms. Gregoire indicated that it was preferable to re-name the road entirely rather than extend it because to do the latter would result in some residents of Robertson road getting a new street number with the same street name.  She suggested this could cause further confusion in way-finding, and could result in emergency services being sent to the wrong address. She noted that the databases of various private sector sources of addresses and way-finding do not necessarily change at the same time as the City and 911 databases. 

 

Councillor Qadri inquired whether it would be possible in Phase 2 to reuse the Robertson Road name. Ms. Grégoire explained that it was the City’s practice to not reuse a street name for at least 10 years after it has been retires. She explained that this is to prevent any misconception or way-finding confusion. She noted that the name could be used for another type of commemoration such as a park or building before that.

 

The Councillor commented that the name Robertson had historical significance in the area and asked if the Robertson family had been consulted on the proposed name change.  Ms. Grégoire indicated that they had tried but were unable find any of the family members. She noted that the proposal was highly covered by the media; the Councillor had consulted with the community at length, and City’s statutory notices and letters had been delivered.  She remarked that it is unfortunate that in order to address the concerns  with way- finding there was a need to re-assign street name that has been dedicated to a specific person.

 

Councillor Harder remarked many businesses are not identified by a number; people just know where it is. She thought that people coming from outside would look for addresses.  She remained unconvinced by the way-finding rationale for the change.

 

Councillor Chiarelli commented people who have resided in the Bells Corners area know where specific places are; however, the businesses in Bells Corners were having to compete with expanded services in Kanata, Stittsville, Westboro and Barrhaven, and were suffering for it. He noted he had driven down the main strip in Bells Corners about two years previous and had photographed 17 boarded-up storefront, many for sale signs.  He noted that the Business Improvement Area (BIA) had been created as a result.  He emphasized the need for a new approach to allow Bells Corners to obtain its share of business from people outside the immediate area.

 

In response to questions from Councillor Harder, Councillor Chiarelli explained the initial reaction to the way-finding problem was to extend Robertson Road to Baseline; however, emergency services and City staff explained that if a citizen were to require the assistance of 911, the possibility of giving the wrong street number is greater if only the number has changed.

This is why the practice has been when issuing new numbers to location a new street name is also given, which causes less confusion as people are more aware of a street name change then just a number change.

 

Councillor Harder questioned what would be done to honour the Robertson name if this change was approved. Councillor Chiarelli indicated that one option they were looking at was with respect to a piece of property in the area where the community has the opportunity to create a residential development; if the community support this, there would be a major park in that location that could be named after the Robertson. His alternate suggestion was to refer the matter to the Commemorative Naming Committee to have them find the best commemoration in Bells Corners.

 

Councillor Chiarelli informed the Committee that prior to the process he had contacted the Nepean Museum and requested the history of the Robertson name and the significance of Richmond Road.  He noted that Dr. Bruce Elliott had suggested the City consult with all of the residents on “small Richmond” (the smaller offshoot of Richmond Road through Lynwood Village to Moodie Drive) about possibly naming that road “Old Richmond Road” to meet up with the Old Richmond Road that Councillor Moffatt is proposing. The road that used to be Richmond Lane, which is now Richmond going through the residential area, would become Old Richmond, where it hits Moodie, it would continue as Old Richmond to Richmond Village.  He noted that in order for this to be done, staff had indicated that another consultation would be required and traffic operations would have to comment. 

 

Councillor Harder surmised that the decision on whether the change went forward needed to be owned by the people of Bells Corners, and hoped this would be vocalized.

 

After questions and answers on the report, Committee heard from public delegations.  The following delegations spoke in support of the proposed street name change:

 

Craig MacAulay spoke in opposition to the proposed street name change.  He challenged any suggestion that the Ward Councillor had consulted the Community Association, noting that he had been president of the association until the Councillor had him replaced.  He suggested that there really was no Community Association in Lynwood Village because there were no members left.  He indicated that they had three meetings with a hundred people in attendance and they were prepared to vote on this matter; however City security arrived and changed the locks in the building and decided there would not be an election and that there would be an appointed community association and those people had since resigned.

 

He further voiced that he felt this proposal was going to pass because of the safety concerns. He indicated that he has spoken with local fireman, paramedics and the consensus appeared to be that they favour positive changes that will make things safer.

 

 

Mr. MacAulay felt there had not been effective consultation with the community, noting that he had a list of 25 community members opposed, there had been letters in the local papers, and he felt hundreds of residents were against the change. He surmised that the change was generated by the BIA as a marketing push for the businesses. He indicated that, while he has nothing against honouring Lloyd Francis, he felt this was a political “strong arm” move by the Ward Councillor hoping to slip the change through before the Community had the chance to be consulted.

 

David Jeanes, Vice-President of Heritage Ottawa, spoke in opposition to the proposed renaming.  He began by stating that Richmond Road was the most historical road in Ottawa. He did not see either the renaming of Richmond Road or the commemoration of Lloyd Francis as a purely local concern for Bells Corners.  He noted there were heritage buildings along the portion of Richmond Road that was to be renamed, and he had not heard a proper discussion regarding whether they would be affected.

 

Mr. Jeanes spoke to the City’s commemorative naming procedure.  He noted that the Council of the new City of Ottawa had approved a motion that historic names should take precedence over commemorative ones. He felt the City has lost sight of this; he could not believe that the recognition of historic names, which has the support of almost all historically-oriented organizations in Ottawa, should be treated so lightly.

 

He argued that the proposed change would make Richmond Road discontinuous, except for the short stretch on Richmond Road where the road currently enters Moodie Drive. He felt the problem was really one of signage at the point where the road name changes, suggesting this sort of problem exists elsewhere in the City.

 

He noted that Robertson is a historical personage, a Nepean Councillor, founder of the Bells Corners business community. He also indicated that the family of Mr. Robertson had indeed been located and had not been consulted on the proposal.  He felt that the consultation should have been wider than just a local consultation. He suggested there were other solutions, and argued that the importance of historic names must be adequately recognized in considering such momentous changes.

 

Following up on a comment raised by the delegate, Councillor Qadri inquired whether Silver Spring Farms would be affected going forward. Ms. Grégoire indicated that they would likely become 1 Lloyd Francis Boulevard, and indicated that they had notified the property owner, the National Capital Commission, and they had not received any comments.

 

Sharon Navin, resident, spoke in opposition to the proposal. Noting that she was born, raised and lived in Bells Corners, she thought the change was unnecessary and disregarded the history and heritage of Bells Corners pioneers.

 

She felt that the street names should be left as they are.  She felt the consultation had been insufficient for such a drastic change, suggesting that seeking input from the BIA, a few residents on the road, and receiving 38 responses to 194 surveys was not enough. She took issue with removing one family name and substituting it with another. She requested that the committee find another way to recognize Lloyd Francis and leave Richmond Road and Robinson Road as they are, noting the names were an important part of history and should not be erased. She thought proper signage would correct the current way-finding issues in Bells Corners. She informed committee that she has spoken to Mr. Robertson’s great-great granddaughter, suggesting the woman was disappointed to hear about the renaming and had conveyed this disappointment to the Ward Councillor.  

 

Councillor Harder inquired if the delegate disliked the process undertaken or the fact that there was a move to make some change.  Ms. Navin replied that she did not like the fact that they were taking away the name of an individual with long history in Bells Corners, as she felt it was unnecessary. She thought that signage could fix the confusion about the roads confusion and would be a cheaper solution.

 

In response to further questions from the Councillor about the marketing objectives of the business community in Bells Corners, Ms. Navin felt these objectives could be accomplished in others ways that would not take away from the community’s past.

 

Michele LeBoldus, spoke in opposition to the proposal.  She referenced the City’s referencing the 20/20 Growth Management Strategy. Specifically, she referenced the guiding principles of the 20/20 document that she felt were important with respect to Bells Corners and how they related to the proposal. Here points are summarized below”

·         “A Creative city rich in heritage, unique in identity” – she suggested Bells Corners needed a vibrant downtown, community vitality and a culture that is present.

·         “A city of distinct, liveable communities” – She noted that Richmond Road had pre-existed Bytown and urban Ottawa. 

·         “An innovative City where prosperity is shared among all” – She suggested Richmond road could help with that.  

·         “A responsible and responsive city” – She referenced a quote from urban historian and architect Dolores Hayden contained in the 20/20 documents, which began “The Urban Landscape is not a text to be read, but a repository of environmental memory far richer than any verbal code….” She contended that Richmond Road was part of that urban landscape.

·         She suggested that renumbering would bring a headache for Emergency Services.

·         She referenced the policy statement in the Ottawa 20/20 Heritage plan that states “The City will preserve distinct built heritage, streetscapes and cultural heritage landscapes that serve as landmarks and symbols of local identity…” She suggested a road was the most basic of these, and Richmond Road met the definition of a Cultural Heritage Landscape.  

·         She noted that the Carleton County fire of 1870 had wiped out Bells Corners, which was rebuilt and has since thrived without losing its name.

·         She noted that the community of Westboro had successfully rebranded itself as a destination community, and it too had two roads going through it (Wellington West and Richmond Road.) She suggested Bells Corners could do the same. She suggested the renaming would not do this.

·         She suggested the community become involved in the rebranding of Bells Corners and the City put the funds it would have used to replace signage towards marketing strategies for new and existing businesses and adding appropriate way-finding signage.

 

In response to questions from Councillor Hubley with respect to the possibility of naming another street Robertson Road, Ms. Grégoire explained that the reason for retiring a street name for a period of time was to avoid way-finding confusion when the name is reassigned.  She suggested that renaming the small portion of Richmond Road through Lynwood Village to Robertson Road would potentially create much confusion, especially since the road is in the same community. She suggested confusion was less likely if the name was used for a street or a park or other facility.  As to whether Robertson Road could just be left as it was, she suggested that would not meet the objective of the initiative, which was to provide BIA with one street name for the business split upon which to build their identity in order to compete with other west-end businesses.  She noted staff had thoroughly examined the situation from all angles.  While they do not do it often, when they feel it is necessary, staff does sometimes recommend renaming of a street that has been named after a person of note.

 

Councillor Hubley inquired about the costs residents and businesses to change their addresses as a result of this change. Ms. Grégoire explained that the City would cover the cost of changing any of its own databases, while the other costs such as changing signage, stationery etc. would be borne by the individual business or resident. She indicated that for this reason there would be a fair length of time before implementation to allow time for businesses or residents to use up their existing stock of addressed materials, and notify suppliers and clients of the change.  Councillor Chiarelli noted that businesses knew this when they endorsed the change.

 

Bruce Elliott spoke in opposition to the proposal. He was not convinced of the necessity of changing the street names.  He felt that it was more than just a local issue given that Richmond Road was the first, most important, most historic road in Ottawa. He noted the road had been cut in 1818 to facilitate the military depot village of Richmond and the settling of the surrounding county, had remained the main access road to Ottawa from the west, and had important historic associations.  He further noted the significance of John Robertson, suggesting his significance went beyond the local area. His points are summarized below:

·         Robertson was of significance to the wider area, with him and Braddish Billings of Gloucester together providing Bytown with almost all its cheese for several decades. While Billings’ estate is now a national historical site, Robertson’s destroyed in the great fire of 1870.

·         He was the author of a published essay on Carleton County agriculture in 1854 and left a lengthy manuscript to his grandson with advice on running a scientific farm, which at remains one of the best sources on the region’s agriculture in the 19th Century.

·         Robertson was the first to own a store on the Bells Corners business strip in 1836.

·         Echoing the comments made by Ms. LeBoldus, he supported the idea of branding Bells Corners as Bells Corners, rather than based on a street name, just as Westboro had been branded.

·         The road in question (Robertson Road) was opened in 1833 as the Goulbourn Road, later Hwy. 7, creating an intersection on Richmond Road at the site of today's Al's Steak House. Thus, they have been distinct roads from the start.

·         If there is the necessity for change, the better alternative would be to extend Robertson Road to Baseline without changing the existing numbers, although he was not convinced of the need for a change. 

 

Councillor Harder referenced the book Dr. Elliott had written on Nepean history, in which much of the historical information could be found. Acknowledging the delegation’s comments about the matter being a City-wide issue, she noted that for the local residents it was very much about their community.  She wondered if there would be a better recognition for Robertson than the existing road, given what little profile it had.  Dr. Elliott suggested that Robertson Road was one of the most high profile roads in the area. He suggested a park in a possible subdivision, as suggested by Councillor Chiarelli, would not be seen by many people.  He suggested Robertson Road was suitably named, given it passes through what was Robertson’s farm and begins at the location of his store.  He suggested a good additional recognition would be a plaque at that location explaining Robertson’s significance.

 

Andy Haydon spoke in opposition to the proposal.  He suggested that it was unfortunate to have the Francis and Robertson family names dragged into a flawed proposal.  He argued that the Robertson commemorative name should not be addressed in such a cavalier approach.  He suggested the economic development of the area would not change by introducing people from other parts of Ottawa; rather, this objective would only be achieved by adding businesses or residential development in the area.  He suggested that the concerns about 911 services were unfounded, and this was not a significant factor. He further suggested that the issue of road identification would easily be resolved through appropriate signage. He fully supported an appropriate commemoration for Lloyd Francis, noting his significance went far beyond Bells Corners.  He suggested commemorative names were fundamentally important and should be kept.  He noted that in the past he had been a friend and colleague of Mr. Francis, who he had enjoyed, loved and respected. He suggested that Mr. Francis would have objected to the proposed renaming if he were alive.

 

In response to questions from Councillor Harder with respect to an appropriate commemoration for Mr. Francis in the west end, Mr. Haydon agreed that there should be something in his name. However, he maintained the past should not be destroyed in the process.  

 

Councillor Chiarelli clarified that it had always been the intention to do something to commemorate something of substance in the Robertson name. He noted that the road had only become Robertson Road in 1983.  Councillor Harder noted that Robertson Road began at the junction of the former Nepean Town Hall.

 

The following delegations spoke in support of the proposed street name change:

 

Paul Francis, eldest son of Lloyd Francis, led off a group of speakers in support of the proposed name change to Lloyd Francis Boulevard.  He began by voicing his disagreement with Mr. Haydon’s comment that Lloyd Francis would have opposed the initiative. He expressed that the staff rationale and the consultations done by the Ward Councillor were appropriate.  He expressed that the present situation was indeed complicated, and this initiative would simplify the street names and give an identity to Bells Corners.

 

Mr. Francis spoke to the historical significance of his father to the community. He began with an overview of his early life and distinguished academic career at Glebe Collegiate, the University of Toronto, and Wisconsin University where he obtained a PhD.

 

Dr. Phil Campbell spoke to Lloyd Francis’s contributions and experiences in WWII.  He explained that Lloyd Francis had been one of the educated Canadian men recruited by the Royal Canadian Air Force to assist the British after they had developed RADAR.  A colleague of Lloyd Francis at that time, Dr. Campbell spoke to Mr. Francis’s individuality and his role in standing up for the Canadian men against the attitudes of the British officers, who still saw them as the “colonials.”  He stated that throughout his career, up to being Speaker of the House of Commons and Ambassador, Lloyd Francis never lost track of the group that he started out with, having interrupted his education to serve his country.

 

Paul Francis continued his overview of his father’s life, noting his father had accepted a job in the public service in 1951, where he was one of the chief architects of the Canada Pension Plan, leaving in 1961 to enter politics.  During that time he became a family man, marrying his wife in 1944, and having two sons and a daughter. 

 

Don Francis, second son of Lloyd Francis, spoke in support of the proposal. While he sympathized with some of the concerns of previous speakers, he suggested that Committee had the opportunity to give Bells Corners a new start with the new street name. He suggested his father’s name be given to the main street, due to his long attachment to Bells Corners.  He spoke to some of Lloyd Francis’s contributions to the business community. He stated that the vast majority of residential development area was done by companies Lloyd Francis was a principal in.  He noted that he himself become involved in his father’s company in the 1980s, and he and his wife had managed the Thorncliffe Place Seniors Residence since its development in 1982.  He noted that he did not run the BIA, and had first heard of the name change in the newspaper. He wished to thank Councillor Chiarelli and his staff for their work on the initiative, and the other speakers who would follow him in support of it.  He encouraged Committee to support the proposal to name Lloyd Francis Boulevard.


In response to questions from Councillor Harder with respect to which riding Lloyd Francis had represented, Don Francis indicated that he was initially elected to the riding of Carleton, and was the first Liberal to be elected in that area since Confederation. Subsequent to the boundary redistribution, he represented Ottawa West.  Councillor Harder wondered why something had not been named for Lloyd Francis before, such as Baseline Road.

 

Paul Francis noted that his father had remained active in the Ottawa business community until his death.  He explained that a family inheritance was invested in a development proposal in Bells Corners, and Lloyd Francis and his partner had sought out developer Bill Teron to provide well-designed, good quality housing in the subdivision.

 

Bill Teron spoke to what Lloyd Francis had done for Bells Corners, suggesting it had changed the history of Ottawa.  He noted that Lloyd Francis was a supporter of the principles of Jacques Gréber, and created Lynwood as one of the first satellite greenbelt villages.  He explained that Francis had bought up land in Bells Corners, had a plan designed, registered the land, and created the lots according to a greenbelt concept. 

 

Mr. Teron explained that Lloyd Francis wanted to avoid the mass-produced, high-repeat suburban housing that was characteristic of that period in Ottawa. Therefore, instead of selling to the prevalent contractors of the time, he sought Mr. Teron out for his design abilities, and challenged him to apply good design to the homes in Lynwood Village.  Mr. Teron explained Lloyd Francis built the community on the principle that people should work where they live, a principle later applied in Kanata.  Mr. Teron discussed how he had worked with Mr. Francis to develop a successful community that won the first design award in Ottawa from the Canadian Housing Design Council.  He suggested this changed the building industry in Ottawa, bringing up standards for the entire City.  He noted that all the other notables of Lloyd Francis’s era in history, such as Moodie, Haydon and Dick Bell, had been commemorated. He argued that Lloyd Francis should also be remembered given all that he did.

 

Following on Mr. Teron’s comments, Paul Francis suggested that his father vision had given Bells Corners its shape, character and nature, making it an attractive place to live.

 

Kenneth Showltz spoke to Lloyd Francis’s involvement in the development of Algonquin College.  He noted that he had met Lloyd Francis while working with the Ministry of Education to scout a location for a new technical college. He noted that Lloyd Francis, a Councillor at the time, helped ensure that Ottawa would beat out other cities for the college, and arranged through the Mayor for some land to be donated on Woodroffe Avenue for the project. He emphasized the importance of this educational institution to the Ottawa area and Ontario.  He noted that he had been impressed by Mr. Francis’s organization and involvement in so many things.

 

Paul Francis then spoke to his father’s decision in 1956 to run for alderman, losing the first time but winning the seat in 1958.  He ran for the Board of Control in 1960, and was named Deputy Mayor. 

Then he ran as the Liberal candidate in the 1962 Federal Election for the riding of Carleton, which had never before been won by a Liberal.  He was defeated, but eventually won the seat, alternating with the Conservative in several subsequent elections.

 

Frank Marchington spoke next, talking about Lloyd Francis’s years in politics, as he had been Francis’s campaign Manager.  He suggested that much of the development of Bells Corners had been as a result of the foresight of men like Lloyd Francis, Bill Teron and Don Sim. He noted that Francis had served as a member of the Kiwanis Club, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service, Alderman, Controller, and Deputy Mayor before seeking the liberal nomination.  He noted that after defeating Dick Bell in 1963, Francis had gone on to serve the Country he loved off and on for over 20 years, occupying most of the important posts including Whip and Speaker of the House.  Mr. Marchington remarked on his own good fortune to have been associated with Francis during many of his campaigns, and to have called him a friend for 50 years.  He emphasized that Lloyd Francis was an honourable, hardworking man who never forgot we are all on this earth to help others.  

 

Paul Francis noted that his father had been appointed Canadian Ambassador to Portugal after he left politics. He was very active in the community after his retirement in 1987, organizing numerous groups and events, and relished his role as the family patriarch.

 

Marnie Francis, granddaughter of Lloyd Francis and Paul’s daughter, spoke to her memories of him.  She recalled that when her grandfather was Canadian Ambassador, she and her parents got to see him in Portugal doing what he loved to do, representing the country he loved so much.  She also recalled her high school graduation, where it had meant so much to her when her grandfather was asked to deliver her diploma.  She spoke to how proud she was to see his portrait hanging in the House of Commons.  In conclusion, she said how she would be grateful and appreciative as a granddaughter to see Lloyd Francis’s name commemorated somewhere that he loved so much.

 

Paul Francis spoke to his father’s later years, noting he had written an autobiography, Ottawa Boy, and remained active up to the end of his life. Paul Francis suggested to Committee that his was highly appropriate that Lloyd Francis be commemorated through the new street name.  He closed by stating that his father had been a very determined Canadian, a special man and a visionary who had done a great deal to give form, shape and character to the City; who had done a great deal to enrich our cultural fabric and who cared deeply about his community.

 

Marie Francis, daughter-in-law of Lloyd Francis and Paul’s wife, also spoke in support of the proposed re-naming.  She noted that she had lived in the west end since 1970, and challenged the opinion that the existing street names were not a problem.  She suggested that as a reasonably intelligent person who knows Bells Corners reasonably well, had difficulty finding a business by address in that area due to the discrepancy.

 

The Chair closed the public hearing portion of the meeting, and turned the recommendations over to Committee.

 

Councillor Hubley introduced the following Motion:

 

WHEREAS the Robertson family has made a significant and historical contribution to the Bell Corners area;

 

WHEREAS the BIA has requested the renaming of the Robertson Road to allow enhanced promotion of their area;

 

BE IT RESOLVED that the Commemorative Naming Committee (CNC) be directed at the earliest opportunity to undertake a process to find a suitable location to recognize the significant contribution of the Robertson family to the area;

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED we waive the 10 year retirement rule for commemorative Naming policy

 

Councillor Hobbs introduced the following Motion:

 

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the action be taken, subject to appropriate consultation with the neighbourhood, to rename the Richmond Road section that runs through Lynwood Village to “Old Richmond Road”

 

Councillor Harder suggested that this initiative put Committee and Council in a bad position. She agreed that Lloyd Francis had done so much for the community, and agreed that something significant should be named after him.  However, the people of Bells Corners have spoken about the Robertson name and why it was also important.  She noted that she had come to the meeting thinking she might support the change, and acknowledged the work done by Councillor Chiarelli; however, she felt that they could do a better commemoration of Lloyd Francis without sacrificing one historical name for another.  Therefore she indicated that she could not support the recommendations.

 

Councillor Moffatt spoke to Councillor Hobbs’ motion.  He noted that he had received much feedback from the community, noting that the Goulbourn Museum and Rideau Township Historical Society had expressed concerns over the name.  He noted that the decision for the rural section of Richmond Road into Richmond Village would be made by the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee.  He noted that he had supported the naming of Richmond Road to Old Richmond Road to preserve the name as it runs through Goulbourn to Richmond.  He suggested Councillor Hobbs’ motion further contribute to preserving the Richmond Road name up to the point where it becomes Lloyd Francis Boulevard.

 

Councillor Monette suggested that both sides of the issue were compelling.  He noted that Robertson Road had only been named in 1983, which is relatively recent.

He emphasized the importance of the work the Ward Councillor had done, including extensive dialogue with businesses and consultation with the community. He supported Councillor Hubley’s motion to find an appropriate commemoration for the Robertson name. He indicated that he would support the re-naming. 

 

Councillor Chiarelli wrapped up debate on the issue.  He noted that he was intimately familiar with the situation, having lived in Bells Corners the entire time he had been on Council, including 20 years living on the small section on “small Richmond Road.”  He spoke to the struggles the businesses on the Bells Corners commercial strip had faced as times had changed and Kanata, Westboro, Nepean South and Barrhaven had grown as major commercial centres.  With a BIA in place for the area, the name change one part of a broader plan to help Bells Corners compete.

 

The Councillor spoke to the problems the Robertson Road/Richmond Road situation caused for local businesses. He noted the significant amount of advertising space the businesses had to devote to explaining where exactly they were located. He emphasized the importance of being able to find a business with only an address, which is why the businesses that support the name change do so while acknowledging the costs for implementation.

 

Councillor Chiarelli noted that Robertson Road had been named in the early 80s due to an effort to commemorate Robertson, but it had created a problem that had been exacerbated over time.  He agreed that there was a need to appropriately commemorate the Robertson name, and was pleased to support Councillor Hubley’s motion. 

 

He also supported Councillor Hobbs motion to begin consultation to rename the small portion of Richmond Road to Old Richmond Road, noting the difficulties experienced by residents on that street when trying to direct people and services to their homes.  He noted there was broad support on that street to rename it.

 

In response to questions from Councillor Chiarelli with respect to how Councillor Hobbs’ motion would affect the timelines for the overall renaming, Ms. Grégoire explained that they would need to commence consultation by the end of the week in order to have the next phase of the renaming before Council in June.  This would allow the residents affected by that phase to have sufficient notice before they need to change their addresses.  Therefore, the report as amended would ideally need to rise to Council on April 13.  Councillor Chiarelli indicated that he would move this as a motion.

 

Councillor Chiarelli spoke to the work underway by the Bells Corners business community to re-brand and rejuvenate the community, citing the New Holiday Inn and redevelopment of Rexall as signs of confidence that this effort would be successful. He suggested the renaming was the first of several steps in that effort.  He emphasized that he had focused on this issue during the election, telling people at every home he visited.  He maintained that much notice had been given when the matter first went to Council, and had been covered by local media.  

In conclusion, he encouraged Committee to support the renaming as part of an effort to give the business district an identity and help it compete and survive.  He also emphasized that Lloyd Francis was indeed a Bells Corners person, and suggested the reason why some do not think so may be because he has not yet been commemorated in Bells Corners.

10.       RENAMING AND NAMING OF STREETS TO BRIAN COBURN BOULEVARD

CHANGEMENT DE NOM ET DÉSIGNATION DU BOULEVARD BRIAN-COBURN

ACS2011-CMR-PLC-0007                                                         CUMBERLAND (19)/ INNES (2)

 

Committee recommended approval of this matter during the consent agenda; however, with the unanimous consent of members, Committee went back to this item to address questions and concerns from Councillor Bloess with respect to the inclusion of the existing Blackburn Hamlet By-pass in the proposed re-naming.  Councillor Bloess did not support the inclusion of that section, and argued it was never meant to be included.

 

Councillor Blais, in response to his colleague’s concerns, agreed to remove Recommendation 1 c) from his report, such that the re-naming would not apply to the existing Blackburn Hamlet Bypass.

 

Arlene Grégoire, Chief Building Official and Director of Building Code Services, indicated that staff had recommended to Councillor Blais that the existing Blackburn Hamlet By-pass be included in the renaming once the roadways became linked as one continuous roadway as a result of the proposed future road allowance extensions, as outlined in the report.  She did not recommend the removal of recommendation 1c) due to the anomaly that would be created in future by leaving this section named as it is currently.

 

Moved by Councillor S. Blais:

 

That recommendation 1c) of the report be deleted.

 

                                                                                                CARRIED

 

Committee then approved the report recommendations as amended.

 

That the Planning Committee recommend Council approve:

 

1.                  that the Director of Building Code Services and the General Manager of Planning and Growth Management, as the case may be, be directed to take necessary actions to rename or name, in accordance with the Municipal Addressing By-law Number 2005-322 or through the development agreement process, the following portions of the road allowance, existing and to be established as part of future construction phases:

a.                  the portion of the road allowance presently named Blackburn Bypass, from Montmere Avenue, west of Trim Road, to just west of Strasbourg Street, as described in the attached Schedule A, be renamed “Brian Coburn Boulevard”, effective April 28, 2011;

b.                  the future road allowance extensions that will connect from the existing Blackburn Bypass, east to Frank Kenny Road, and west to the existing Blackburn Hamlet Bypass, be named “Brian Coburn Boulevard” as described in the attached Schedule B; and

 

2.                  That the City Solicitor prepare the by-laws required to implement the street name change for Blackburn Bypass as shown in Schedule A and to forward such directly to Council for enactment at the April 27, 2011 meeting; and the City Solicitor further prepare the required by-laws to effect the future street name change of the portion of the Blackburn Hamlet Bypass shown in Schedule B and to forward such directly to Council for enactment at the appropriate time.
