Town.wants streets named after Peter Perry What's in a name? To Whitby council, plenty. On Monday night, council gave approval to phase one of a sub- division at the northwest corner of D'Hillier St. and Dundas St. W. but have asked the street names be in- vestigated. Some of the names for streets in the 157-unit subdivision are Moon- stone Dr. and Rothean Crt. But council wants - to know why the str eets have not been named after former Peter Perry winners. "Where are thesè names coming from?" asked councillor Gerry Emm. He was informed by planning director Bob Short that Town staff attempt to name streets after Peter Perry winners. "'That is not goo enough. 1 don't think an effort is being made," responded Emm, who asked that approval of the names be withheld for two weeks. giving staff time to attempt to rename the streets. " IThose names are a damn in- suit,"t. said councillor Joe Drumm. Councillor Marcel Brunelle also asked staff to investigate renaming D'Hillier St. McQuay Blvd. and renaming one of the subdivision streets D'Hillier. Brunelle- said the move would make sense since D'Hillier will- be aligned to intersect with McQuaýr Blvd. in the Otter Creek sub- division. Council was unanimous in agreeing with the two suggestions. The application filed by Monarch Construction Ltd., is only the first phase of a subdivision which-will eventually contain 325 dwellings. Staff is to report back in two weeks on the name changes. Street name to be changed Whitby council has approved changing the name of Mountbatten Rd. in north Whitby to Dryden Rd. to honor John Dryden, a reeve of Whitby Township ini the 1960's. The road runs from Garden St., eastward towards Anderson street, and is to be extended to Hwy. 12. - The name was approved after no objections were received at a public meeting held on Tuesday, Sept.,8.

The plan proposed 21 lots having a mfnirnum lot frontage of 45 feet and. 19 lots with minimum 50-ft. frontage.
