The City of Hamilton's procedures for naming and renaming public and private roads, published as Appendix D to Report PED25077. It describes the pre-approved name list the City maintains by former municipality, ward and neighbourhood; how a name is added through a request form circulated to the ward councillor and emergency services; how names are finalised through a subdivision or by-law; and the renaming route, with its 80% owner petition, fee and planning committee public meeting. A table pairs street, crescent, court and mews with the roadway forms each suits.
