VietNamNet Bridge – After conducting a public poll, the Hanoi’s People’s Committee has decided to give names to 32 streets and roads across the city.
 |
| No change in the streets whose names come into the minds of local residents. |
According, 10 streets will be called after the name of national heroes while the other 22 streets will be named following the permanent residential addresses which have long come into the minds of local inhabitants.
Specifically, some inner districts will have more newly named streets such as Phu Gia street in Tay Ho district; Nguyen Hien street in Hai Ba Trung district; Nguy Nhu Kon Tum, Nguyen Thi Thap, Hoang Ngan and Le Van Thien streets in Thanh Xuan district; Tran Quy Kien and Pham Tan Tai streets in Cau Giay district; Nam Du, Khuyen Luong, Yen So, Nguyen Chinh, Nguyen Huu Tho, Nguyen Duy Trinh and Thanh Dam streets in Hoang Mai district. Long Bien, the most newly set-up district, will also have new streets named Phu Vien, Mai Phuc, O Cach, Tan Thuy and Ngoc Thuy.
Per decision No 01/2007/QĐ-UBND recently promulgated by the Hanoi People’s Committee, the Hanoi Department of Transport and Public Works will work with relevant districts’ People’s Committees to conduct the naming of those streets at an early date.
In addition, the Hanoi Department of Culture and Information will be responsible for carrying out an intensive and extensive information campaign on those streets with the background information of national heroes such as date of birth, place of birth and substantial merits for local residents.
|
All the national or international heroes chosen for the naming of streets are those with excellent talents, respected moral manners and great contributions to national defence and development. In addition, those heroes must have died at least 10 years before the naming of the streets.
Heroes with controversy surrounding them will not be put into consideration for the street naming. |
