Norther: Overhaul Local Street Names

Norther (re: Poll: Don’t want MLK Way In CdA ): Just to make it all fair and easy, let’s just remove all street names and number them, instead. All North/South streets can be called 1st Street, etc, and all East/West streets can be called avenues or roads. Sherman should be changed because it could offend some folks of southern origin who see W.T. Sherman as more of a monster than a victor. Or because it was the name of the Fort in Coeur D’ Alene that ravaged native. populations in the early years of the area. Get rid of Government Way, too, just for kicks.

Question: Are there any streets/roads/avenue names in Kootenai County that bug you?
