Let's say one has a LOT of $$$; would it be possible for someone to buy a street and give it his name? I know that usually street names are given of people who were famous in their field, and dead, but there are street names that are given with people
still living. What's your opinion on that? Would it be possible? I would think the council of citizens would have to be informed and some kind of survey done.

If the road is on private property and not maintained by the local government, you could theoretically buy the road if you buy the property it sits on. It would then be your right to rename the road as long as it doesn't continue onto others' property.
There's not way to officially "buy" a public road. However, I imagine that most cities would be willing to consider renaming a road after someone who gave a sizeable donation. Still, there's no guarantees.

No. Streets belong to the public and are maintained with their tax dollars.
