Street Renaming Application

A Street Renaming Application is used to request a change to the name ofa public street or roadway within the Borough. Street names are managed to ensure consistency, safety, and ease of navigation for residents, visitors, and emergency services.

When Is This Required?

You may need a Street Renaming Application if:

• A street or portion of a street is being renamed for community, historical, or safety reasons
• There is a conflict or duplication with an existing street name
• You are dedicating a new street and requesting its official name

Planning staff can help determine if your request meets the criteria for review.

Review Process

• Submit the Street Renaming Application to the Planning Department
• Staff review for compliance with Borough policies and naming conventions
• Notification and input from affected property owners and stakeholders
• Planning Commission review and recommendation
• Assembly approval (final decision)

• Recording of the approved street name in Borough records.
