In total, there are 339 structural divisions in the settlements of the district, including 325 streets, 7 alleys, and 7 microdistricts.
Last year, 5 streets in the district were supported by the regional onomastic commission and renamed into names close to national recognition and given the names of war and labor veterans of our district. Currently, work is underway to register the changed street names in the judicial authorities.
