Street Naming
EDMS#412686 2
Policy
To ensure that new street names assigned to roads within subdivisions reflect Port Moody’s
natural and cultural heritage and are allocated in a logical manner, the following policy has been
established.
Procedures
When a subdivision applicant selects a street name from the approved Street Name List:
1) During the preliminary review of a subdivision application that would create a new street,
Development Services staff will provide the applicant with a copy of the approved Street
Name List and possible suggestions.
2) The applicant will review the suggested street names and, in consultation with staff,
identify a preferred street name.
3) If the proposed street name is considered to be appropriate in the context of the
development, staff will advise the applicant to include the proposed street name on the
final subdivision plan.
4) The Approving Officer will verify that the street name appears as approved on the
finalized subdivision plan prior to subdivision approval.
Where new roads are created by the City or another agency, the above process applies.
When a subdivision applicant proposes a street name that is not on the approved Street Name
List:
1) During the preliminary review of a subdivision application that would create a new street,
Development Services staff will provide the applicant with a copy of the approved Street
Name List and possible suggestions.
2) Should the applicant prefer a different street naming theme, proposed alternatives,
including the proposed street name and the rationale as to why the proposed name has
been selected, will be submitted to staff in addition to a description of the proposed road
naming theme. An administrative processing fee will be collected for this process.
3) If the proposed street name is considered to be appropriate in the context of the
development, staff will refer the proposed name to the Fire Department, Police
Department, Canada Post, and adjacent municipalities for review and comment to avoid
potential street name conflicts.
4) Staff will review the responses for the referral agencies and then forward the proposed
street name with a recommendation to Council for consideration.
5) The applicant will be informed of Council’s decision regarding the requested street
name. If the application is supported by Council, the applicant will be instructed to
prepare the subdivision plans based on the approved street name. Should the
application be rejected by Council, the applicant will have the option of re-applying with a
revised set of street names or choosing a name from the approved list.
6) The Approving Officer will ensure that the street name included on the final subdivision
plan reflects Council’s direction.

Approved List of Street Names
The approved list of street names will be administered and updated by the Development
Services Department as names are removed as part of the street naming process.
Pioneer Commemoration
When naming streets in commemoration of the City’s pioneers, the Mayor may present a small
duplicate street sign to a family member of the Pioneer being honoured.
The Approving Officer, in situations where deemed appropriate, may request that a major street
in a new subdivision be named in honour of a City pioneer.
Monitoring/Authority
The Approving Officer/General Manager of Development Services has been delegated the
responsibility by Council for implementation of this policy.
