A request to change the name of Drive-In Road (County Road 29) in Laurentian Valley has been denied.
The County of Renfrew operations committee turned down the request this week.
There’s 30 homes, one business and two churches that would’ve been impacted by the name change.
Suggested names included Laurentian Valley Drive, Jack Wilson Lane or George Mathison Drive.
Those who suggested the name change say there has not been an operating drive in theatre on this road in more than 40 years and noted the Skylight Drive-In is on the other side of town on Forest Lea Road.
The operations committee is looking at changing the policy so requests for county road name changes in local municipalities would have to be brought to the county by the individuals towns and townships.
