Kosmodamianskaya Quay
That's how they call it. I believe in this case "Quay" is already in use by various sources.

Very briefly:
I believe, "embankment" is more about construction (civil engineering) than architectural term; like say "levee, dam, dike ". You may check the Dictionaries (say Lingvo12):
embankment:
1st meaning: сооружение насыпи, дамбы, вала
2nd meaning: насыпь, дамба, плотина, перемычка
синонимы: bank, dam, levee
3rd meaning: набережная
синонимы: quay, wharf
then look for
quay:
1) набережная
2)пристань, причал
If we talk about some urban architectural environment (like in the case) "quay" is preferable (well, at least to me).

тут однозначно принято именно это название (даже и архитекторами :-)) И потом это зависит от функции набережной и от контекста.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Embankment
кстати, Victoria Embankment в "Великобритания. Лингвострановедческий словарь" переводится как "набережная Виктории"
я посмотрел значения английских слов embankment, quay, levee... все они совпадают лишь с первым значением...
неужели нужно писать Kosmodamianskaya Embankment Street ???
What I'd like Vladimir to do is reconsider his claim that "тут однозначно принято именно это название." It has no basis in reality, does it, Vladimir?
