The name Egan does not take an accent and in spite of what's written it's not an avenue, but it's a street.
This sign at Verdun and Egan (one west of Woodland) is the only Egan sign to have such mistakes, apparently.
It's likely that nobody ever complained about this, so there was no pressure to fix it. This morning I phoned in a complaint, (although I wasn't given a file number, so perhaps it was not filed officially). Let's watch to see if the city addresses it.
About 15 years ago I bought a sixplex through a broker named John Snow, an older gentleman at the nearby Egan Realties. Good building and nice guy that Snow. We had a few mutual acquaintances in the form of Johnny Tibbo, and his son Robert and his daughter who married a guy who wore a cape to their wedding.
