Roads, Lanes, Drives, Circles and Crescents

Two new roads came into being recently as a result of subdivision development in our area. Parson’s Creek Drive, serving the sub- division of the same name, is a no-exit 66 foot road 898 feet 1n length, built and paved m 1974. Highland Drive, which serves the MacLauchlan Highlands subdivision, is also a no-exit 66 foot road, 1434 feet long, built and paved in 1978. Both of these roads were deeded to P.E.I. Government by subdivision developer Harry MacLauchlan.

In cooperation with the North Shore Firemen’s Association existing lanes and drives on the Stanhope Peninsula were named and marked to assist the firemen in locating homes in this area. The newer _ names were chosen to commemorate some of the early and present landowners and include such names as MacMillan Lane, Ross Lane, Primrose Lane, Warren’s Lane, MacDougall Road, MacLauchlan Crescent. Allan’s Circle, Seaman’s Road, Rupert’s Road, MacKay Lane, Thymewood Lane, Birch Hill Drive, Bagnall’s Lane, Market Lane,

Stanhope Terrace and others. 1 13
