While Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council backed the move, residents have the deciding vote.
It's not expected local residents would back the motion for the 'Independent Ukraine Road' name change.
Dermot Lacey. former Lord Mayor, says he's decided not to go ahead with a similar move.
He currently sits on Dublin City Council and a similar motion has now been shelved.
"There was a difference of opinion on what the road should be called, in terms of the new road," he said.
"Ukraine Road, Independent Ukraine Road, Zelensky road, there were different views of that."
"Some people believed that they hoped the process of the plebiscite would be long over."
