6 Names Have Been Selected as Finalist to Rename the Downtown Street

Help us rename a street in the heart of downtown Berkeley! We’ve reviewed hundreds of community suggestions, narrowed the list to six finalists, and now, we want to know which one you’d pick.

The six suggestions will come to name what was once a two block stretch known as Shattuck Avenue “East,” a street that is taking on a new identity after the City re-aligned traffic in December to make Shattuck into a continuous two-way street.

These names were chosen through a community process seeking historical and cultural significance with an emphasis on representing those traditionally overlooked in Berkeley.

These names represent a variety of communities, identities and issues. Read up on them below, do your own research if you like and share your choice by completing a short online survey by Feb. 26.
