Such was the case with media coverage last week as Toronto Council — often the epicentre of absurdity in Canadian municipal politics — lived up to its reputation by voting to spend up to $6.3 million renaming Dundas Street, named for Scottish politician Henry Dundas.
The costs will involve expunging the name “Dundas” from street signs, subway stations and other namesakes such as the city’s iconic Yonge-Dundas Square.
It will take until 2023 to come up with a new name for Dundas and complete the transformation, according to the city.
Council will also decide what do about 60 other streets with so-called problematic names.
