An honourary name change is not official but it may come into common usage over time. The segment from 137 Avenue north has been chosen due to preliminary support shown to include the neighbourhood of Griesbach, which is historically significant to the military. There is also a long history of 97 Street being the principal access to Canadian Forces Base Edmonton, with troops using this route to deploy/come home. CFB Edmonton (or “The Garrison”) is the largest military base in Western Canada and has a significant impact on our local economy, and the character of Edmonton.
