The Hanoi People's Council has just passed a resolution naming Trinh Tiet Street and Quan Tinh Street for two road sections over 500m long in My Duc District and Long Bien District.
On July 2, continuing the 17th session, the Hanoi People's Council passed a Resolution on naming and adjusting the length of a number of roads, streets, and public works in the area.
Of the 22 newly named streets in Hanoi, 15 are named after places, regions and other forms of names; 7 are named after famous people.
Notably, the Hanoi People's Council decided to name Trinh Tiet Street for the road section from Trinh Tiet village gate (Trinh Tiet hamlet, Dai Hung commune, My Duc district) to the intersection of the road planned to be named "Trung Nghia" at the Seu market intersection.
Quan Tinh Street (Long Bien District) is named for the road section from the intersection of Pham Khac Quang Street at the cultural house of residential group 7, Giang Bien Ward to the intersection of Duong Huu Dike at residential group 6, Giang Bien Ward (next to the ranked relic of Quan Tinh communal house and pagoda).
Examining the above content, the Legal Committee of the Hanoi People's Council requested the city to explain the basis for naming Trinh Tiet Street, about 540m long, in My Duc District, and Quan Tinh Street, 500m long, in Long Bien District.
According to Mr. Duy Hoang Duong, Head of the Legal Committee of the Hanoi People's Council, naming streets should follow modern trends (such as numbers and characters), especially in some new urban areas. This has been required by the Legal Committee since 2021 but the city has not yet implemented it.
Explaining the above content, Director of Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports Do Dinh Hong said that Trinh Tiet Street was named after an ancient village in My Duc district. The locality also has Trinh Tiet temple which has been ranked as a city.
According to Mr. Hong, the name Quan Tinh dates back to the end of the Le Trung Hung period, and is a commune in Dang Xa commune, Gia Lam district, Thuan An prefecture, Kinh Bac town (now Bac Ninh province). In Giang Bien ward, Long Bien district, there is currently Quan Tinh pagoda.
