Downtown Streets Names

The numbering system we use for the streets in Fargo is easy to use, but at the same time boring and adds nothing interesting to the character of the city. This is especially true Downtown. Take a look at other cities around the country/world. They have SOME streets with names on them, which add to the character of that place.

Chicago has Michigan Ave, Lake St, State St, etc...
Seattle has Pike St, Denny Way, Elliott Ave, Columbia St, etc...
Even Omaha has Farnam St, Jackson St, William St, etc...

All we've got in Downtown Fargo is NP Ave... that's it. Hopefully most folks understand its Northern Pacific Ave. See what I did there? It's already more interesting. Every town has Main and Broadway. Let's take a few streets and name them. Name them after famous Fargoans or North Dakotans... or the different railroads, or historical figures/moments.

Here's some suggestions:

Theodore Roosevelt Ave.
Roger Maris Ave. (Yeah I know we've got Roger Maris Dr.)
Minnesota Ave.
Montana Ave.
Iowa Ave.
Wisconsin Ave.
