"I will walk along Abrikosovaya, turn to Grape …" Yuri Antonov sang in his song. It is worth figuring out how to come up with a name for a new street or rename an old one, and understand how and who approves the proposed names.
Instructions
Step 1
Usually, the decision to give a name to a newly created street or to rename an old street is made by the local government. As a rule, individuals and legal entities have the right to submit their proposal to the administration of the city on the territory of which this street is located. Write a letter to the name of the mayor asking him to consider your name.
Step 2
The most important thing is to justify the desired title. To do this, study all the information related to the area, and state the facts and arguments in the body of the letter.
Step 3
Provide historical facts or significant events that took place in this place. For example, if a famous person lived in one of the houses on this street, who made a great contribution to the development of the city, give his brief biography and services to the city.
Step 4
If the name of a new street is chosen, then suggest to name it, for example, in honor of the professional activities of people who will mainly live on it (for example, Tokarey or Stroiteley street) or by its location (Vokzalnaya, Ozernaya). Or maybe an alley of beautiful chestnuts has been planted on this street? Suggest to name the street Kashtanova, and perhaps the administration will like such a simple version of the street name. State the justification in any form.
Step 5
After composing the letter and sending it to the administration, call the incoming documentation department and find out the number of the incoming document in order to subsequently "track the fate" of your application.
Step 6
Your letter will be considered in the department of culture, or, perhaps, there is a special commission on toponyms in the city, which includes architects, writers, historians. After an examination of your proposal, these bodies will make their decision.
Step 7
If the decision is positive, your letter will go to the city authorities for approval. the final decision remains with them. If the decision is negative, you will be sent a formal rejection letter.
