Name change request for a street Tehran/Iran

[ 20251021 092227 — Postimages ]

Hello everyone,

I submitted a name change request for a street in District 2 of Tehran, Iran.

The official name has been changed by Tehran Municipality from “Kooche Laleh” to “Kooche Vali Asr” (Area 6, District 2).

The new name is already displayed on the official municipal street sign, and the old name “Kooche Laleh” no longer exists in any official record.

However, OpenStreetMap still shows the old name.

Residents, postal workers, and delivery drivers are facing serious confusion because of this mismatch.

Please update the map to reflect the current and official name: “Kooche Vali Asr”.

Here is a photo of the new official street sign installed by the municipality:

Thank you so much for your help and for keeping OSM data accurate.

How exactly did you submit a name change request? Did you edit the map, add a note, or something else?

If you edited the map, the change should already be there (you may have to clear your browser cache to see your changes reflected in the map).
If you opened a note, could you send a link to that note?
If something else, could you send coordinates for the road?

Hello
Welcome to openstreetmap.

You have signed up for an account so are able to click edit and change the name yourself.

There is no need to ask others to do it.

That is the point of OSM, its a map anyone can edit.

Cheers Phil
