As the city filed it
At its meeting of July 16, 2019, City Council adopted Item MM9.34 directing the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, in consultation the Manager, Indigenous Affairs Office, to investigate the feasibility of renaming Woodsy Park Lane to Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Lane and report back to the North York Community Council with a recommendation based on the criteria and process outlined in the Street Naming Policy.

The proposed name "Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Lane" complies with the Policy, however, renaming of streets is addressed in section 3.4 of the Street Naming Policy which states: "3.4 Streets that have been named, renamed, or assigned a ceremonial name within the previous ten years will not be renamed." Because the original naming of this street occurred in 2014, a renaming at this time is not in compliance with the Street Naming Policy. Therefore, this report recommends that the renaming be rejected. Community Councils have delegated authority to decide street naming matters which comply with the Street Naming Policy. As this renaming is not in compliance with the Street Naming Policy, North York Community Council does not have delegated authority to approve a renaming within the previous 10 years. Any renaming of this street at this time would require the consideration and approval of City Council.
Staff recommended
Engineering and Construction Services recommends that North York Community Council: 1. Reject the renaming of "Woodsy Park Lane".
