Description : To clear up some lingering confusion regarding street names used in the 911 emergency system. Bradford West Gwillimbury has accepted a resolution that the 10th Sideroad will no longer be referred to as the "Middletown Sideroad", from Line 13 south to Line 4, Bradford West Gwillimbury. At one time, Ministry of Transportation signs at the intersection with former Highway 88 identified the road as the Middletown Sideroad. Those signs are now gone. The name still appears on the municipal electors list, assessment roll and 911 records, but once a by-law is passed, residents and emergency services will be instructed to us only "10th Sideroad." Council also voted to confirm the naming of Line 11 from the 20th Sideroad west to two lots west of former highway 27, rather than rename the road as "Coulson's Hill Road." The current Coulson's Hill signage at the intersection with former Highway 11 would remain, however, as "historical recognition" of the original name. Councillors were unable to agree on whether Mason, from Colborne to Britannia, is an "Avenue" or a "Street." It was decided to defer a decision - and therefore the street naming by-law - until it could be checked further.
