"Yuri Antonov sang in his song. It’s worthwhile to figure out how to come up with the name of the new street or rename the old one, to understand how and who approves the proposed names.
Instruction manual
1
Usually, the decision to name the newly created street or to rename the old street is made by local governments. As a rule, individuals and legal entities have the right to submit their proposal to the administration of the city on whose territory this street is located. Write a letter to the name of the head of the city with a request to consider your version of the name.
2
The most important thing is to justify the desired name. To do this, study all the information associated with the area, and state the facts and arguments in the body of the letter.
3
Give historical facts or significant events that occurred in this place. For example, if a famous person who made a great contribution to the development of the city lived in one of the houses on this street, give his brief biography and services to the city.
4
If you choose the name of a new street, then propose 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? Offer to name the street Kashtanova, and perhaps such a straightforward version of the name of the street will appeal to the administration. Justify in any form.
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 request.
6
Your letter will be considered in the department of culture, or, perhaps, in the city there is a special commission on toponyms, which includes architects, writers, historians. After conducting an examination of your proposal, these bodies will make their decision.
7
If the decision is positive, your letter will be approved by the city authorities, as the final decision rests with them. If the decision turns out to be negative, you will be sent an official letter of refusal.
