Il s'agit de la seule rue des ministres à Bruxelles, ce qui est relativement étonnant étant donné les nombreuses appellations en lien avec les administrations et institutions qui figurent dans les commune proches du centre de Bruxelles et la quasi absence de ce genre d'hommage dans la périphérie de la ville.
