History
Earlier, on the site of the street there was a nameless passage running along the Finnish connecting railway line. It received the name Granite Street on December 26, 1940. The origin of this name is not clear. According to one of the versions [1] , it is connected with the fact that various construction materials delivered by rail from the Karelian Isthmus were unloaded on this passage, and at that time heaps of gravel and piles of granite slabs rose along the passage.
In the postwar years, Granitnaya Street was built up with new houses and continued to Malookhtinsky Avenue, including Prevovskaya and Volzhskaya streets.
After construction in 2003 of the Ladozhsky railway station, a section of Granitnaya Street appeared, going from Utkin Alley to Zanevsky Avenue .
As of the end of 2018, construction is underway on the section connecting Utkin Lane and Shaumyan Avenue .
