I have no idea what is bothering Cllr Gallo about Evelyn having a little lane-way named after her when she was not even on council at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-45417134342485174172014-09-05T11:51:54.526-05:002014-09-05T11:51:54.526-05:0019:01

Not to mention the older names (Fluery and Machel for example).<br /><br />Of course Norm Weller, Herb McKenzie have a park.<br /><br />There's a Stemmle Drive named after a very much alive skier.<br /><br />Correct me if I am wrong, builders approach the Town with a list of possible names and council approves them (or not).

I would assume that all street names in the past were handled the same way. It would be unfortunate if the rejected name were someone's kin.
