Promotion of Honorary Street Name Project in Guro-gu

Adding Names to Existing Road Names by Finding Meaningful Roads... Resident Contest Until May 20

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] “Honoring roads that carry history!”

Guro-gu is promoting an honorary road name project.

Guro-gu announced on the 27th that it will carry out an honorary road name project to find roads that match Guro-gu’s identity and urban brand and promote them, and that residents can directly participate in the process of designating honorary road names by submitting their ideas.

An ‘honorary road name’ is an additional name given to all or part of a road section that already has an official road name.

Guro-gu will conduct a public contest targeting 491 roads within the area that have official road names.

The contest requires proposals including the honorary road section, name, reasons for the suggestion, and expected effects. The road name should symbolize the local history and culture or enhance the city’s image.

Anyone who is a resident of Guro-gu, a worker in Guro-gu, or a member of an organization located in Guro-gu can participate in this contest.

Proposals can be submitted by visiting the Real Estate Information Division of the district office, or by mail, fax (860-2627), or email (seok1031@guro.go.kr) by May 20.

If the submitted honorary road name is finally adopted, a gift certificate will be awarded. For more details, please refer to the news section on the district office website.

Guro-gu plans to complete the designation of honorary road names by September this year through procedures including on-site investigation of the target area, collecting residents’ opinions, review by the Road Name Address Committee, and official announcement. The honorary road names will also be included in the road name guide maps published annually.

A Guro-gu official said, “We hope to find meaningful roads and give them honorable names that can represent the region,” and added, “We ask for the interest and participation of many people in the honorary road name public contest.”
