Renaming a street

Hello,

A resident has requested that a street be named. I would be interested in hearing about your policy and procedures handling such a request.


Of main concern to me,

once approved by council, who gets notified? MPAC? Canada Post? the Land Registry Office?

Any advice or help is appreciated. Thanks.   :)

Elmwood Park, Illinois, USA

We only do honorary street names.  They are all "Ways"....i.e.Ron Santo Way.  We do this for residents that have made a significant impact on our community or celebrities that hail from Elmwood Park.

I found a very thorough policy from Smith Falls, Ontario.
