Granny Smith and Golden Delicious are names of two popular apple varieties.

They could also become the names of the street that you live on.

Brampton is set to approve several street names for future use in the northwest part of the city, names that pay tribute to the area’s historic fruit-farming heritage.

Development in that area will take place on land that was previously occupied by apple orchards, and several names suggested reflect that connection to the past.

As well as Granny Smith and Golden Delicious, other names proposed include:

Amber Orchard
Blossomfield
Breezy Orchard
Cider
Ciderstone
Corestone
Crimson Orchard
Harvest Glen
Orchardlight
Springapple
Sweetbranch

The names still have to be approved by city council, which is expected to do so.

Street names are generally proposed by developers, but can also come from members of the public or suggestions from local councillors.

The name then goes through a series of reviews to make sure it doesn’t conflict with other streets (they don’t want emergency services to be confused by similar-sounding names) and for general appropriateness (chances are, Trump Street would be rejected).

Aside from the above-mentioned names, another under consideration is Savera, which means dawn or morning in Punjabi, Urdu, and Hindi and symbolizes new beginnings.

As well, as previously reported, a street honouring Lonsdale Blackett, the first Black police officer recruited in Peel Region, will also likely be approved.
