Just after the full list of potential new street names was revealed, the City of Alexandria said six public streets could be renamed as the opening of a 15-year process.
The city plans an open public hearing on Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. in Alexandria City Hall (301 King Street) to discuss the proposed names or potential alternatives.
According to a release from the City of Alexandria, the street names changes being considered are:
- North Breckinridge Place: changed to honor Benjamin Banneker
- North Frost Street: changed to honor Sarah Gray
- North and South Early Street: changed to honor Harriet Jacobs and Ona Judge
- North and South Jordan Street, Jordan Court: changed to honor the Hughes family
- Forrest Street: changed to Forest Street
The proposal to begin renaming streets was introduced on Jan. 10, 2023, with a plan to rename roughly three streets per year. If the new names are approved by the City Council, three of them will be changed in January 2024.
