Public input requested for potential renaming of Durham bridge

The Municipality of West Grey is asking for public input regarding the name of a local bridge.

The family of former West Grey politician Carol Lawrence has requested the Heritage Walkway Bridge in Durham be named the “Carol Lawrence Walkway Bridge” in her honour. The bridge is located in Lions Heritage Park. A release states "the proposal includes the installation of a plaque at the bridge entrance from Garafraxa Street recognizing Lawrence's achievements during her time serving on municipal councils, boards, and committees." The proposed plaque can be seen on the municipal website.

The public can provide their input by visiting http://www.westgrey.com/renamebridge/. The feedback form will be available online until Thursday, August 4th, at 4:30 p.m. Copies of the feedback form can also be completed at the municipal office.
