Street Name Policy:
All names for new public or private streets or streets that are being re-named in the city shall conform to the following guidelines: a. Street names shall be selected so as to avoid street name duplication on a city wide basis and with abutting municipalities. Duplication is defined as: 1. Streets having the same name; 2. Streets having the same parent name and different suffixes and are not located in the same geographical area or physically connected; 3. Street names are homonyms b. Generally, a street name which is continual shall have one name only throughout its entire length. However, if a street name change is inevitable the change must occur at an intersection and must not occur in mid block. c. Street suffix is the street configuration designation and is as follows: i. Any road which runs east-west shall be designated as an Avenue. ii. Any road which runs north-south shall be designated as a Street. iii. Any road which runs north-south and changes direction to east-west or vice versa shall be designated as a Drive. iv. Any road which is a cul-de-sac shall be designated as a Court. d. The names shall be derived based on themes relevant to Summerside’s history or other relevant themes as Council may determine.
The names for new public or private streets or streets that are being re-named in the city shall be selected from the approved street name list. a. Any person who wishes to use a name that is not on the approved street name list shall make application to Council therefore and Council shall approve or deny the application by simple resolution based on: i. The recommendation of the Street Naming Committee. ii. The conformance of the proposed name with this policy. iii. Any other considerations that Council considers relevant.
The development officer shall create and maintain an Official Street Index which will be made available to other Departments and outside agencies as a formal publication and/or in computer digital format. a. The Official Street Index shall consist of existing public and private street names in the city. b. The development officer shall regularly exchange up-to-date street indices with abutting municipalities and encourage street name continuity and discourage street name duplication with abutting municipalities. c. The development officer shall document street name history with regards to renaming and street name origins.
