On Monday the Planning and Development Executive Committee unanimously voted for the recommendation to rename Colonization Road West and Colonization Road East.
Prior to voting, the committee were presented with a tally of the feedback from members of the community.
Cody Vangel, chief building official and municipal planner, said they have close to 45 responses since administration was authorized to go forward with the consultation process.
According to the report submitted by Vangel, out of the submitted responses there were only a select few that stated outright objections to the name change.
Coun. Douglas Judson brought this issue before council last year and has been vocal about why it is high time that the name gets changed.
