RECOMMENDATION: That staff proceed with the preparation of a draft by-law and
reference plan( if required) to rename in its entirety the street River
Valley Traillocated between Forest Creek Drive and Pond Cliff Drive in the Doon
South Community
BACKGROUND:
Plans of subdivision in the Doon South Community were draft approved in 2007 and
were registered in 2010. To date building permits for Registered Plans 58M-504 and
58M-505 have not been issued. It has come to the attention of staff that the above
noted registered plans were registered containing a street nam
which is very similar to a pre-
Plan 58M-422 in the Hidden Valley area of the City. As this would create possible
confusion for emergency services, mail staff and visitors to the area, staff is
recommending that this street be renamed in its entirety prior to building permits being
issued.

th
