So which is it? Is 17th ave good as it is, or could it be better using the original street name of Notre Dame Ave? Maybe another name altogether?

I support a name change to highlight the significance of the street better. Something classy like "Notre Dame" or "loughheed" would work. It's less about the locals and more about the brand.
Sure it would take a generation to get all the locals people to forget, but I think our numbering system aligns with our major problem of being a city designed for engineers and not one designed for people. Any moves to give Calgary a bit more personality is a good thing.
And though I support a new / old name, I will be one of those that will call it 17th. Too old to switch now for me
