Two road name changes will take place in the RM of Portage la Prairie after approval of a By-Law to register the roads was passed by council. Ward 4 councillor Roy Tufford explains PTH 1 South Service Road from Angle Road to Road 34W will be called East Angle Road, and the road between Cottonwood Drive and PTH 1 North Service Road is being named Hillside Drive. 

"I think it just needed a name because people that live on it are having a hard time getting things delivered when they don't have a street name," says Tufford. "If it isn't on Google Maps, delivery companies don't know how to find it. So, we named two different roads."

Tufford says Hillside Drive is named after the Hillside Cemetery nearby. 

"It starts at the Service Rd on the north side of #1 very close to where Yellowquill Trail crosses #1 and meets Cottonwood Drive at the other end," adds Tufford.
