The City of St. John’s is expanding its Reserved Street Names Inventory — and we’re asking for your ideas! This inventory is used when new streets are developed and require official names approved by the City.
Street names can reflect our city’s rich history, natural beauty, and shared culture. You might draw inspiration from:
- Places or events
- Flora or fauna
- Natural or geographical features
- Cultural themes or shared experiences
- Existing neighbourhood naming themes
Names of individuals (living or deceased) will not be accepted in line with the City’s Street Naming Policy and Procedures.
Submit your ideas below!
Street names submitted through this engagement project do not require a Street Naming Application.
The City will also reach out to schools with Grade 6 classes in St. John’s, inviting students to help name future streets in St. John’s. Teachers will receive a worksheet to guide students in brainstorming creative and meaningful street name ideas.
Additional information on street naming is available on the City’s website.
Help us name the streets that shape our community! Submissions will be received until December 19, 2025. Residents can also email ideas to engage@stjohns.ca or call 311 or 709- 754-CITY (2489) and ask to speak with a member of the project team.

Review the suggestions already submitted. Feel free to share what makes your suggestion a great street name. (max 140 characters).
