On July 2, during the 17th session, the Hanoi People's Council approved the resolution to name and adjust the length of several streets and public works in the city.
Among the 22 new streets named in Hanoi, 15 are named after local landmarks and other forms, while 7 streets are named after notable individuals.
The Hanoi People's Council decided to name Trinh Tiet Street after the ancient village of Trinh Tiet. This street stretches from the gate of Trinh Tiet village (Trinh Tiet Hamlet, Dai Hung Commune, My Duc District) to the intersection with the proposed Trung Nghia Street at the Seu Market intersection.
Quan Tinh Street in Long Bien District runs from the intersection with Pham Khac Quang Street at the Cultural House of Residential Group 7, Giang Bien Ward, to the intersection with the Duong Dike at Residential Group 6, Giang Bien Ward, near the Quan Tinh Pagoda, which is recognized a relic site.
Mr. Duy Hoang Duong, Head of the Legal Committee of the Hanoi People's Council, suggested that modern naming conventions (such as numbers and characters) should be considered, especially in new urban areas. This proposal has been under consideration since 2021, but the city has yet to implement it.
Mr. Do Dinh Hong clarified that the name Trinh Tiet was chosen to reflect the historical and cultural heritage of the ancient village in My Duc District. Meanwhile, the name Quan Tinh dates back to the late Le Trung Hung period, originally a commune in Dang Xa, Gia Lam District, Thuan An Prefecture, Kinh Bac Province (now Bac Ninh Province). The Giang Bien Ward in Long Bien District currently hosts the Quan Tinh Pagoda.
The naming of these streets aims to honor and preserve the historical and cultural legacy of these areas, while also providing clear and meaningful identifiers for local residents and visitors.
