[edit] Subdivision street names
Somewhere, I'd like to note the themes of subdivision street names.
Riverdale - rivers in the Yukon - very short streets built in recent times are named after creeks
Porter Creek - types of trees, with the exception of the numbered streets and Clyde Wann Road
Takhini - military battlefields of the 2nd and 1st World Wars
Hillcrest - this user is uncertain as to the theme - perhaps trails? The names are Dalton Trail, Park Lane, Kluane Cres, Summit Road, Sunset Dr, Chalet Cres, Roundel Road.
Crestview - lakes
Wolf Creek, McIntyre, Granger - pioneer Yukoners, many also honoured on downtown street names
Marwell - minerals
Arkell and Logan - birds
Copper Ridge - gemstones
Cowley Creek - fish
Pine Ridge - mountains
Hidden Valley - some are named after berries, others are named after persons
