On the agenda

As the city filed it

A request by Councillor Fletcher's office was made to our office on May 10, 2022, with support from the Mississauga Credit First Nation (MCFN) to rename Lower Coxwell Avenue between Queen Street East and Lake Shore Boulevard East, as "Emdaabiimok Avenue" in celebration of the history of the community, and its surroundings. The proposed name "Emdaabiimok Avenue" 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 2019, a renaming at this time is not in compliance with the Street Naming Policy.
