The other one I thought of was Helene Campbell, but is she worthy of the main arterial in the area named after her?

Is there not some kind of rule that you cannot name a road or a building after a person until the said person is deceased?

I don't believe so, but I also believe there should be.

No. But from observation it usually occurs after the individual has at least retired.

I find naming streets and buildings after active sitting politicians is pretty tacky.

I remember when they were naming a street Madeleine Meilleur Private in Vanier. Meilleur is a sitting MPP for the riding and a member of the provincial cabinet. There was enough complaining that it was renamed to just Meilleur Private (after droping the first name).

I think the international custom or standard (maybe from UNESCO) is to only name for deceased persons.

But individual governments around the world are not bound by this of course.

I believe in Quebec they have adopted this international rule of thumb and you can no longer name something for a living person.

Of course, many things in Quebec are still named for living people, probably because this took place before the rules were put in force: there is a Rue Guy-Lafleur in Thurso, and there is a Parc Nelson-Mandela in Montreal.

But I don't believe this can be done any more.

Brian Cobourn is not dead (yet!), but they named a major arterial route in Orleans after him

Woodroffe/Deerfox focused zoning study

In response to residents' interest about development in their neighbourhood, City staff are undertaking a Focused Zoning Study of the current and proposed rezoning of four properties at 3102 – 3130 Woodroffe Avenue, as well as the current zoning of six additional properties at 3150 – 3162 Woodroffe Avenue and 15 – 39 Deerfox Drive. The study is guided by the policies for land use in the current City of Ottawa Official Plan.

Councillors Harder and Desroches and City staff invite you to the first Public Information Session for this Focused Zoning Study:

Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Walter Baker Sports Centre – Food Court
100 Malvern Drive
Presentation at 6 p.m.
Discussion until 8 p.m.

If you have ideas or questions about the type of development that is to be permitted at this location and the impact it may have on your neighbourhood, we encourage you to attend.

What is a Focused Zoning Study?
In response to the Planning Summit held in April of 2012, staff within the Zoning, Intensification and Neighbourhoods Unit will be undertaking reviews of zoning situations where it has been identified that inconsistency with the City's Official Plan policies exist.

A Focused Zoning Study is meant to be both thorough and quick so that the public can provide input and feedback in a focused manner on specific issues that need prompt resolution.

A Focused Zoning Study...

examines the existing zoning of a limited geographic area in the context of consistency with the Official Plan; and
includes the opportunity for public input on the proposed recommendations coming out of the study.

Found this on Gray's in the midst of all the Hobbs bashing. 4000 acres we're told mostly as part of O'Brien's pipe dream edge city.

What a weird location! It does not have any road or potential transit connections (i.e. not near Highway 7, 417 or 416 or the rail corridors). They really think all that traffic can be handled on rural roads?

Streets for the Fernbank subdivision are starting to show up on the city's EMAP and also on Google Maps as planned. On the E-map there are indicating streets in the new area north of Scotiabank Place and on the south side of Earl Armstrong at River as well and also the Manotick mega-subdivision as well

So all that talk about less curly-swirly, less cul-de-sacky, more linear gridded street layouts, that's just a stinking pile of crap, then, right?
