Sir, When I moved into Jayalakshmipuram some 18 years back, I noticed that the Street in front of my house did not have any name. A detailed study of the area showed that there were several anomalies. Before listing these anomalies, let me reiterate what I believe should be a logical method of naming of the City Streets:
- If East-West Streets are designated as “Main Street” (Mukhya Raste) then North-South Streets would be “Cross Street” (Adda Raste) or vice versa.
- Under no circumstances a Main Street can be perpendicular to another Main Street and similarly no Cross Street should be perpendicular to another Cross Street.
- The Street number should increase in the same direction. Also, if there is a short Street, it could be designated with a subscript of ‘A’.
- If a particular street has an established name, retain that name with the logical street number in brackets
