Origin
Summary
At the July 2022 City Council meeting, City Council adopted the Commemorative Framework to provide additional guidance to support members of the public, Elected Officials, and City staff when naming and renaming streets and City properties in a commemorative manner, and when considering proposals to develop new and review existing commemorative monuments.
Residents on Arlington submitted an application to the City Manager's Office to name a path in Cedarvale Park after Evelyn Green. Parks and Recreation, along with Economic Development and Culture Division, worked in collaboration with Strategic Partnerships and the local Councillor to consult with the family of Evelyn Green. As a result, a path within Cedarvale Park has been identified, located at 443 Arlington Ave, as the proposed park location to be named Evelyn Green Way in recognition of her life and lasting impact.
