3. That Council enact a by-law formally changing the name of the above-noted
portions of (Old) Taunton Road east of Brock Road to William Jackson Drive.
Executive Summary: On September 17, 2007, Council passed Resolution 17/07
authorizing staff to initiate the process of changing the name of (Old) Taunton Road
east of Brock Road to William Jackson Drive. The process included contacting the
owners fronting (Old) Taunton Road to advise them of the City's intent to change the
street name and to seek their comments. All owners have indicated that they have no
objection to the name change.
The name William Jackson holds historical significance to this area of the City and has
been approved by the Region and endorsed by City staff and Heritage Pickering. It is
being recommended that the City proceed with the name change and that Council enact
the attached draft by-law, which when registered, will formally change the name of (Old)
Taunton Road to William Jackson Drive.
A small section of (Old) Taunton Road remains in ORC ownership and must be
transferred to the City before the street name change by-law is registered.
Consequently, the official street name change will be delayed slightly.
It is also recommended that the City provide financial assistance to residents impacted
by this name change to offset their out-of-pocket expenses and inconvenience.
Financial Implications:
1. Registration of street name change by-law (Account 1416) $100.00
2. Signage replacement (Account 2320-2409) $400.00
3. Reimbursement for out-of-pocket (Account 2610-2320) $525.00
expenses resulting from name change
Sustainability Implications: Enactment of the attached draft by-law is part of the
administrative process that is required to legally conclude the renaming process. It
does not directly impact the City's sustainability initiatives.
Background: When Taunton Road was realigned by the Region of Durham east
of Brock Road in the 1990's, the original Taunton Road remained open linking the `new'
Taunton Road to Brock Road. This linkage is commonly referenced as (Old) Taunton
Road. This established the current situation where two roads exist in the City of
Pickering bearing the same name.
Report PD 15-09 April 6, 2009
Subject: Street Name Change Page 3
56 (Old) Taunton Road to William Jackson Drive
To avoid confusion to the public and emergency services, and to establish a new street
name for what will become a collector road within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood, it
is recommended that (Old) Taunton Road be renamed to "William Jackson Drive" which
name holds historical significance to this area of the City.
On September 17, 2007, Council passed Resolution 17/07 authorizing staff to initiate
the process of changing the name of (Old) Taunton Road east of Brock Road to William
Jackson Drive. The process included contacting the owners fronting (Old) Taunton
Road to advise them of the City's intent to change their street name and to seek their
comments. All owners have indicated that they have no objection to the name change.
As the street name William Jackson Drive has been approved by the Region and
endorsed by City staff and Heritage Pickering, it is recommended that Council enact the
attached draft by-law, which when registered will formally change the name of (Old)
Taunton Road to William Jackson Drive.
It should be noted that although staff is seeking enactment of the attached draft by-law
at this time, it will not be registered until the City has acquired the portion of (Old)
Taunton Road that remains in ORC's ownership (Parts 1 to 5, Plan 40R-15548). ORC
maintains that the conveyance of this portion of (Old) Taunton Road to the City can only
be undertaken in conjunction with,the disposition of other lands it owns in Duffin Heights
following required EA works.
Staff is also seeking authorization to provide each household $175.00 to offset any
inconvenience and out-of-pocket expenses they will incur as a result of this name
change.
