I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

Can't call it Acacia Avenue because it's not an Avenue? Fine, call it Acacia Lane. Still has a common vowel sound.

    My biggest takeaway from the article was the avenues are supposed to be tree lined. I’m pretty sure there are a bunch of them around that don’t adhere to that naming scheme, although it perhaps depends on the definition of tree lined.
