Help Name New Streets in St. John's
Official title: Street Naming
St. John's wants your ideas for street names. The city is building up its Reserved Street Names Inventory for future developments. You can suggest names inspired by local history, nature, culture, or neighbourhood themes. One catch: no names of people, living or dead.
Why This Matters
Ever driven down a street and wondered who named it? Here's your chance to leave a mark on your city. The names you suggest could end up on street signs in new neighbourhoods. It's a small way to shape how St. John's tells its story.
What Could Change
Your suggestions will be added to the city's Reserved Street Names Inventory. When new streets are built, the city will draw from this list for official names. Grade 6 students are also being invited to participate through their schools.
Key Issues
- What street names reflect St. John's history, nature, and culture?
- What themes should guide naming in different neighbourhoods?
How to Participate
- Visit the consultation page and submit your street name idea using the online form.
- You can also email your suggestions to engage@stjohns.ca or call 311.
