Toronto City Council is changing course in renaming Dundas Street amid escalating cost estimates, and will be changing the name of Yonge-Dundas Square, two subway stations, and a library instead as part of racial reconciliation initiatives.

Latest estimates showed that the cost of renaming the street would have come in at $12.7 million, more than double the price of the original $6.3 million price tag, according to a city manager.
