Honorary Street Naming Dedication

The honorary intersection dedication program enables the city to honor any natural person or non-profit organization or association that has made significant contributions to the historical or cultural landscape of the city. At these intersections, distinct signage will be posted without impairments to traffic or pedestrian safety or create confusion between the honorary dedication and the names of the intersecting streets. The city council may, by motion, designate or revoke dedications of honorary intersections. Dedications of honorary intersections in the Vieux Carre are prohibited.

To request a dedication

Please contact your city council member. Personal request for dedications are not accepted.
