PAS published its first Information Report in To celebrate this history, each month we're presenting a new report from the archives. Download original report pdf. Why can't a house say good and plenty, 'Hey look at me! I'm Nineteen-twenty, The joint you're looking for! Problems of street naming and house numbering may confront planning commissions in relation to new subdivisions or new planned neighborhood developments or these problems may arise simply as a result from the difficulties that have come out of the accumulated inefficiencies of an outmoded system.
No one would advocate designing a city or a subdivision along certain lines merely because it would be easy for the visitor or the delivery truck to locate persons and buildings. A well-planned community, with well-grouped major uses and service facilities, and with efficient means of intercommunication, is the primary concern of planners. However, once a street plan has been adopted by a community, with major and minor streets laid out, with feeder streets, and residential streets, and through highways and heavy traffic bearers, designed each according to its function, facilitating the use of these streets follows naturally.
In part, the general attitude towards street naming and house numbering might be compared to that towards calendar reform; everybody is in favor of the reform, but such reform does not have top priority.
Correct as this attitude may be, it is unwarranted to dismiss street naming and house numbering systems as unimportant. Since planning in part is directed to providing rationality and order in community life, and in making communities more efficient and convenient, ease in locating places and facilities within a community should be encouraged.
This need has been recognized by citizen associations as well as official agencies. For example, the City Club of Chicago was instrumental in dramatizing the importance of clarifying the city's muddled street system.
The first major attempt to systematize Chicago's street names was done in ; in and further clarification took place. The Nashville Times and Nashville Banner conducted a newspaper campaign in to reorganize the Nashville, Tennessee, naming and numbering procedure. Citizen support led to the formation of a special Joint Standing Committee on Ordinances on the Nomenclature of Streets in Boston in to recommend changes in that historic city's street naming policies — the recommendations made by the Commission at this early date contain some of the same general recommendations made today.
Many arguments may be advanced to justify the need for special funds for a study of existing practices in a community, or to justify a street naming and house numbering reorganization ordinance:.
It is assumed that the street department, the city engineer, the department of public works, will be among the most interested municipal officials. Objections may be raised to changing street names and house numbers. These generally come from those business or professional firms that feel a close identification of their activities with their street address.
Objections are also raised, particularly in some of the older areas, if it is believed historic names will be discarded, and that the municipality will thus lose some of its individuality. Also, some persons object to change per se, believing that if a previous system worked at a previous time, it should not be altered.
The section on court decisions in this report discusses whether individuals have rights in maintaining existing street names.
No duplication of names or numbers. It is preferable not to have differentiation by a suffix "street" or "avenue. In some communities "place" is used to indicate a minor street closely associated with a major street — for example, "St. Anne Place" might be located a half block from "St. Anne Street. Continuation of a street name. A street should have one name only and should have the same name throughout its entire length.
If the street is not a through street but is broken by intervening land uses and is laid out in substantially the same location at a more distant point, the same name should be used on all of the "links. In some communities, if a street jogs sharply, the portion of the street running in the different direction is given another name. There should be base lines dividing the community into east, west, north and south sections.
It is not imperative that the suffixes "east," "west," "north," and "south" be used if a continuous numbering system is used, and if there are not many through streets. However, if the numbers radiate from the base intersecting streets, and there are many through streets, it will be easier to have such suffixes.
Numbers on parallel streets should be comparable. If a parallel street does not originate at the same point as another street, the numbers should not begin with a low number but should begin with the same number on a parallel street measured from the base line.
Numbering should be uniform, based on street frontage. This should be done within blocks and between blocks. Even numbers should always be on one side of the street, and odd on the other. Common practice is to place even numbers on the north and west sides of streets and odd numbers on the south and east sides of streets.
It is good practice to distinguish between size and importance of street, and direction of street, by terminology. For example, "street" might be used for east-west streets, and "avenue" for north-south streets, or vice-versa. Diagonal streets or heavy traffic bearers might be called "boulevard. Curvilinear streets might use "place," "road," "way," and "lane," etc. The Committee on Terminology established by the American Society of Planning Officials may make recommendations for the use of these terms.
I usually work with bookies to get their money. I do, but I shouldn't. I don't. I wouldn't do drugs. Tony Soprano. Paulie Gualtieri. Carlo Gervasi. Christopher Moltisanti. Al Capone.

It took me about 15 years. It took me about five years.
It took me about 10 years. I'm just starting out, so I'm still working my way up. I just do it to get it over with. I know I'm overqualified, but I know it needs to be done to prove my worth.

They also name new roads and streets. The council involves the land developer in the street naming process. They invite suggestions and possible alternative names from the developer. These street names with postal numbers go before council for approval. Councils don't allocate house names. If your home already has a number, the property owner can add a name to the address without contacting the council. You can add the house name to an existing postal address, but you cannot remove the number from the address.
As the property name is not officially part of the address, you must still display and use the house number in any correspondence. It isn't easy for councils or the emergency services to identify an address using a house name alone. A house number should be prominently displayed to identify the location of a property on a road.
Councils are responsible for providing street name plates and fitting these in suitable positions. If there is a problem or fault with a street name plate in your area, contact the council:. The naming of streets after living persons should be avoided. Rude, Offensive or names linked to unsavoury activity or persons will not be accepted All new pedestrian ways should end with either 'Walk', 'Path', 'Way'.
