Lorne Greene Way

[dewline]

Does anyone in Ottawa reading this know when Greenfield north of Don - out in the general direction of Britannia Bay - was renamed Lorne Greene Way? I'm thinking, based on Pathfinder Maps' coverage of Ottawa that it was somewhen in the 2005-'06 neighbourhood, but not sure. Digging through the City's bylaw books to check at the moment.

Looks like this is the meeting you want:

Apparently there was some controversy over the naming ... the residents of the street didn't want the change.

Interesting note about the argument.

Off to look up the community association in the affected area to find out more...and in the meantime, here's some additional backstory:

Yes, that's what I was thinking of. I was living near Lincoln Fields at the time and remember the discussion.

The people living on the north end of the street figured out a Solution. Might be interesting to find out who remembered that bit of history of when he lived there.
