Welder’s Way will replace Elm Street as a street name in Liverpool.
Council in the Region of Queens Municipality voted on the change after receiving complaints that there were two Elm Streets; the other in Brooklyn.
It caused confusion for couriers and emergency responders.
Twenty-six submissions were received over the last two months through a naming contest.
The winning selection was received by Jane Dunlop-Stevenson of Liverpool.
In her submission, she said “Welder’s Way….as it headed to Stenpro where much welding was done. I think they contributed greatly behind the scenes working, raising families, and helping the economy of our area, for a very long time. Recognize the little guy.”
Other street names that were considered include:
* Dr. Frank Bell Lane
* Vivian Burke Lane
* Clarke Drive
* Farrell Road
* Sid Ford Lane
* Ron Lane
* Ron Lane Avenue
* John Leefe Lane
* Leefe Street
* Leefe Lane
* Tim McDonald Road
* Tim McDonald Lane
* Perkins Lane
* Perkins Street
* Simeon Perkins Blvd.
* Polly’s Lane
* Sanford Street or Sanford Lane
* Short Street
* Arthur Sproul Sr. Street or A. Sproul Sr. Street or Sproul Street
* Terrance Warrington Road
* Welder’s Way
* Armand Avenue
A sign with the new street name is being ordered and will be posted in a few weeks.
