Wikipedia's policy on article titles.A general rule is that, for "the title: When a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it. This often will be a local name, or one of them; but not always. If the place does not exist anymore, or the article deals only with a place in a period when it held a different name, the widely accepted historical English name should be used. If neither of these English names exist, the modern official name, in articles dealing with the present, or the modern local historical name, in articles dealing with a specific period, should be used.".
In context of the current article, the name "Park Street" was changed to "Mother Teresa Sarani" (Sarani in Bengali means a road or a lane) only in early 2000s; a period of about 10 years could not change the wide use of the name of the road which existed by "Park Street" for more than 200 years. The article deals with the road in both modern and historical context and its widely accepted English name exists, ie "Park Street".
