Oh - time to jump in on this one...

A little bird at a major metropolitan mapping company told me that YES, as soon as a property is addressed to a lane, the city names the lane. The address is needed (of course) for all emergency services, things like mail, and most importantly, taxes.

A few lanes remain unnamed in the city with "R" addresses on them - e.g. 77R Palmerston would be found on the lane behind 77 Palmerston.

Frankly, with every new lane name popping up on the Toronto map, it's getting more congested and difficult to read. Short names are better. Tell you local councillor.

(Lane name most in my ears and in my eyes: Penny (121 S25))

Naming a lane Lois Lane is tempting fate. The neighbours would be on permanent Margot Kidder back garden alert, putting out food and bottled water in case she showed up.
