Road renaming Ward 3 Councillor Lieven Gevaert questions the need for a public meeting related to the renaming of local boundary roads. While unanimous support has been given to rename certain town lines- bordering Puslinch, Eramosa, Halton His and Burlington - Mr. Gevaert indicated a public meeting would simply delay the process. "Other than a show and tell, what would be the point of a public meeting?" the rural councillor asked Monday. Mel Iovio, Milton's planning director, said the meeting would allow for public input but that changes wouldn't necessarily be the end result. The only existing problem related to road renaming lies with the Milton-Burlington border. Staff have proposed to change the boundary road name from No. 1 Side Road to Bumhamnthorpe Road West - which may cause confusion since no Burnhamthorpe Road East currently exists in Burlington. Other recommended changes are: for Puslinch - Nassagaweya-Puslinch Town Line, for Eramosa - Eramosa-Milton Town Line, for Halton Hilîs' north- em section - Crewson's Line, for Halton Hilîs' cen- tre section - Nassagaweya-Esquesing Town Line, and for Halton HuIls' southemn section - Tremaine Road. The date and location of the public meeting, approved by counicillors, has yet to be determined.
