I've no idea but I am sure backhanders and cronyism are involved
somewhere in the process.
Who wants to make a 313 name Monopoly board?

So here's the process in Saint Louis and Detroit. Someone contacts a
councilperson to draft a resolution saying "this day is so and so's
day."
They send it up to the council and it passes (usually unanimously).
Then
the mayor drafts a document for the interested parties saying "i'm glad
to
announce that this day is so and so's day."
Streets? A bit more complicated. I would imagine that zoning boards
might have to be involved. But again with a dedicated group of citizens
it could be done here.
What's the process in the UK?
