8.     Number designation shall not be required on roadways:

11.    The names of local roadways shall closely reflect the community name of the area. 

12.    Extensions of collector and arterial roads into new development areas shall retain the existing names unless potential confusion will arise. 

13.    The names or new collector and arterial roads should be descriptive or should reflect the heritage or history of the area or of the Town. 

14.    Roadways within the downtown area shall bear both a number and the historic name and addressing may be referenced to either.

17.    Within areas where the roadways are part of the integrated grid of roadways, civic addresses shall be referenced to the overall grid. 

18.    On local roadways that are named, civic addresses may either reference the overall grid or be numbered sequentially from #1. 

19.    Addresses referencing the overall number grid shall be of 4 digit format with the first two (2) digits representing the grid road immediately to the east or south and the last two (2) digits being a sequence increasing from south to north and east to west.  Number sequences shall leave at least on vacant whole number between each lot in developed residential or commercial areas and sufficient vacant numbers in less densely developed areas to allow future subdivision and redevelopment. 

20.    Where ever possible addresses on the: 

                i)      east and south side of a roadway shall end in an odd digit, and 

                ii)     west and north side of a roadway shall end in an even digit 

21.    The owner of each property shall cause to be displayed the assigned civic address at or near the front of the property such that it may be clearly observed and read from the roadway.  Each person who contravenes this provision is guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine of not less than Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) or not more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).
