A section of street in Klaipėda between the Curonian Lagoon and the Castle Bridge is proposed to be renamed Ernesto Galvanauskas Boulevard, in an effort to commemorate the individual who played a significant role in the incorporation of the Klaipėda region into Lithuania. The decision is currently being submitted to the city council for approval and underscores the historical importance of Galvanauskas in shaping Lithuania as a maritime nation. If the council approves the proposal, it would mark the establishment of the city’s first boulevard, a pedestrian street lined with trees.

Additionally, if the renaming is enacted, the current E. Galvanauskas Street in the northern part of the city is suggested to be renamed Mykolas Kalmantas, a military officer and volunteer in the incorporation of Klaipėda, highlighting the historical narratives attached to the area. Furthermore, there is also a suggestion to restore the name of Luizė to a section of Danės Street, from the Castle Bridge to the Atgimimo Square, to honor the memory of Queen Louise of Prussia, who resided in Klaipėda during the 18th century, thus recognizing the city's historical role in significant European decisions.

This proposed renaming reflects not only a desire to acknowledge historical figures in Lithuania's national narrative but also demonstrates a growing awareness of the importance of urban identity and historical memory tied to local infrastructure. Such changes can foster a sense of pride and continuity among residents while educating the public about the important historical connections within the city itself.
