Just to repeat this again, this process is non-binding, its a community based initiative that may produce something that lasts or might not. As Jane Farrow said, its ultimately the people who pick a name on their own through day to day use. Nobody is forcing anybody to do anything. I don't know clearer this can be.
(Sorry to correct you, as this has nothing to do with this NON BINDING process , but in our voting system you use the "first past the gate" process and not a 50 +1 process. In the 2006 municipal election only 9000 people voted in the ENTIRE ward. And Davenport has often been reported as having one of the lowest voter turnouts of any riding. Nobody has been even close to capturing 50 +1 of eligible voters. There are many reasons for this including the democratic option NOT to participate at all but life seems to go on.)
But be clear on this, this process has brought a lot of people in the community together who did not know each other before. There has been a lot of positive press about this community for a change. Your issues have had a fair hearing here and on the FB site and some changes were made because of concerns. You have made your case, you are just one person, a person who chose not be involved, and I suggest that it would look good on you to acknowledge and salute the enormous effort that people have put into this project as a community building exercise.
