The City of Lexington’s Honorary Street Naming Program allows for the opportunity to honor people or groups who have made significant, positive impacts in the community. The Mayor and each City Council member is allowed one (1) honorary street name designation at a given time.

Honorary street name signs will be displayed for a two year period and may be renewed by request in writing for another two year period if there is not a waiting list for future honorees. When removal of the sign occurs, the sign will then be turned over to the applicant or the applicant’s designee.

 The portion of a street so designated will be a one block area. Applications must be submitted by the Mayor or any member of the City Council, with final approval authorized by vote of the City Council.

 A completed application, plus a fee of $225 per one 2-faced sign must be submitted prior to approval. If the application is not approved, the fee paid will be refunded less an administrative fee of $25, resulting in refund amount of $200.
