Residents of Riga are invited to receive the new building address number plates

According to the binding regulations of the Riga City Council, after receiving the new sign, the person must post it within one week.

The new signs must be installed in exactly the same places as the signs with the old street names and building addresses. The main conditions to be observed – the signs must be placed on the right side of the facade, at a height of 2.5 meters from the ground and at a distance of 0.3 to 0.5 meters from the corner of the building. Historically, street name signs and address signs may have been placed incorrectly near some buildings, and in such cases the signs must be placed correctly, in accordance with the binding regulations of the Riga City Council.

Old address plates and name plates can be handed over to sorted waste collection areas as scrap metal, at scrap metal collection points or placed in a household waste container. If there are lighting devices in the signs, they should be disposed of as electrical and electronic equipment by handing them over to “Latvijas Zaļā punkta” in the specialized boxes for small electronics.

As reported, on February 21, Riga City Council decided to rename Maskavas and several other streets in the capital. The new names of the streets of Riga are Latgales, Lastādijas, Jānis Klīžės, Kārļas Mīlenbach, Vilhelmas Purvīš, Viļas Plūdoņas, Emīlijas Benjamiņas, Valērijas Seiles and Augusta Spariņa streets.
