Street Names: Trump Avenue No More?

In Ottawa, we've had a neighbourhood with street names of a New York-ish theme called Central Park. One of the street names was, I'm sorry to say, Trump Avenue:

Trump Avenue - Central Park, Ottawa

There's a renewed push on to change this street name too, per this morning's report from CBC News Ottawa:

Well, it won't be Payette, will it? It might be best to chose "Lake" or "Tree" or "Concrete".

As it happens, there's at least one Ontario school named after Julie Payette.

They may have some Issues in the months ahead.
