In August 2022, in response to interest in recognizing outstanding individuals who have made a significant impact on their community, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a program for the ceremonial naming of streets. The ceremonial street naming program commemorates the services, lives, and achievements of individuals, groups, or landmarks that have made a positive impact on Santa Ana. While these ceremonial names do not change the official names of the streets, those streets are marked with the installation of a ceremonial street sign that uniquely identifies the streets with the entity being honored. To be eligible for a ceremonial street sign, an entity must meet the following requirements: (1) have had a minimum of 10 consecutive years of community involvement by demonstrating extraordinary, consistent, and voluntary commitment; (2) have made significant and clearly defined contributions through cultural, humanitarian, or historic achievements; and (3) have lived in or identified with Santa Ana.
