Honorary Street Designations

Alderwoman Cruz may propose four honorary street designations per calendar year. Read below for more information about this program.

Honorary street designations are available for organizations or individuals who have made a significant contribution to the City, state, nation, or world.

New honorary streets:

Cannot honor a living individual (nominees must be deceased).
Can be no longer than two blocks in length.
Cannot be placed where there is already an honorary street designation.
Remain in place for five years (but can be renewed by the alderperson for an additional five years.

To nominate an individual or organization, please send a brief summary of the proposed honoree and their contributions along with the proposed location to Jason Liechty, 30th Ward Director of Policy and Zoning, at Jason.Liechty@cityofchicago.org.
