Apparently the section of the Trans Canada Highway between the Charlottetown Mall and North River Road has been renamed “Capital Way.” Perhaps “We Are A Boring City With No Imagination Way” would have been a better name? Has the list of notable Islanders that should have things named after them been exhausted? Councillor Rob Lantz noted the renaming back in October, so I suppose we’ve only ourselves to blame.

Not that it’s any more imaginative — it’s possibly even less so — but I thought the resolution we passed was to rename it Capital Drive. It’s not the type of thing I generally undertake to commit to memory, but this comment I left on November 14th seems to confirm my suspicion.

Interesting — I’m assuming Capital Way only because that’s the address that Sobers Music is advertising on Google.
