The municipality of West Grey is looking for residential input on renaming the Heritage Walkway Bridge in Durham.
The municipality says the family of former West Grey politician Carol Lawrence has requested the bridge be named in her honour.
The municipality received a delegation and a formal application to rename the bridge, but policy directs staff to collect input from external stakeholders, and members of the community.
The Lawrence family has requested the bridge in the Lions Heritage Park be named the “Carol Lawrence Walkway Bridge.”
The proposal also includes the installation of a plaque at the bridge entrance from Garafraxa Street to recognize Lawrence’s achievements during her time serving on municipal councils, boards, and committees.
The plaque would be bronze with black lettering and will include an etched image of Lawrence.
Residents can provide their input by visiting the municipality of West Grey website before Aug. 4 at 4:30 p.m.
