As the city filed it
On the night of September 15, 2012 an SUV drove to a Shell station at Roselawn Avenue and Marlee Avenue, where Jayesh Prajapati was working as a gas attendant. The driver of the vehicle filled up with $112.85 worth of gas before driving away without paying. Jayesh tried to stop him, but was callously hit and dragged by the vehicle for 78 metres down Roselawn Avenue where he died. Jayesh Prajapati was a newcomer to Canada and a great friend of the community.

Naming this section of the Beltline, which is close to the Shell Station where Jayesh worked, would honour and respect his memory and leave a legacy for his widow and son. This would serve as a good reminder to the local residents who live and work in the community of the kindness that Jayesh bestowed on everyone who knew him.
