In order to prevent the consequences of the Soviet occupation, the Riga city council decided to rename 8 streets of the capital: Tipografijas, Turgeneva, Lermontova, Gogolia, Pushkina, Maskavas, Latgale and Lomonosova. In urban areas, street plates are changed gradually, but the program “Stopkadri ar Armanda Puchi” found out how all plates must be replaced within three months, that is, until the end of May.

“House owners and managers can get the new street name plates free of charge at the Riga Neighborhood Residents’ Center by applying in advance, but they have to install them themselves. On the other hand, the old address plates can be handed over to the sorted waste collection areas or placed in the household waste container.”
The Riga City Council announced a competition in which possible companies that could produce the new plates and house number plates were investigated and identified. 8 manufacturers received an invitation to participate in the price survey, but only three responded. The company SIA “Reklāmas darbnīca 99 ABC” put forward the best price offer, but according to the information provided by the municipality, the company refused to win the tender and conclude the contract. The second favorable offer was submitted by SIA “Darba Spars”.
One street sign costs 23 euros and 6 cents on average. The plaques in the historical center of Riga are curved, spherical, while further away from the center they are straight. Residents of Riga do not have to pay for plates. The cost of purchasing the plate is covered from the municipal budget. In Riga, a total of 195 street number plates and signs of buildings, and 70 plates with the name of the street printed on them, are planned to be replaced.
EDVARDS RATNIEKS, DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF RIGA COUNCIL (NA): “If someone wants to order a plate sooner, while the municipality prepares it, that is of course possible by approaching the relevant entrepreneurs and fulfilling all the necessary requirements.”
The total amount also includes delivery costs, namely packaging and the journey from the place of production of the plates to the place of receipt. Taking into account that street names and plates are being changed in a hurry in Riga, residents express their confusion on social networks as to why the plates explaining the previous street names have remained. Or are they planned to be changed or taken down and who should do it.
