The roadways within the city shall be named as shown on the official address map which is similar to the predominant alphabetical county system and shall be as follows.
(A) Commencing at the east boundary of the city and proceeding west, there shall be, where appropriate, a north-south roadway approximately every 330 feet more or less, which will have an alphabetical name corresponding where practical with names used in neighboring communities which generally adhere to the county system and that all such roadways be generally referred to as “lanes”. Each lane shall also have a designated block number included on the street signs for the purpose of numbering houses and buildings in the block immediately west of said lane and the said block numbers will be increased 100 numbers in sequence beginning with 11100 for every lane proceeding numerically east to west.
(B) Starting from the south boundary of the city and proceeding north, there shall be east-west roadways generally named avenues intersecting where appropriate with the aforesaid lanes approximately every 660 feet more or less. The avenues shall be named numerically beginning with the 10900 block. Block numbers shall be increased 100 numbers at every avenue approximately 660 feet more or less. Being that the block numbers are a continuation of North Minneapolis, avenues will be suffixed with the term “north”.
(C) The house and building numbers on lanes will be numbered from the block number of the avenue immediately south thereof with houses and buildings on the east side of a lane being even numbered while on the west side, they shall be odd numbered.
(D) The house and building numbers on avenues will be taken from the lane block number immediately east and the numbers on the north side of an avenue will be even numbered while on the south side, the house and building numbers will be odd.
(E) The terms “parkway”, “circle”, “drive”, “road”, “boulevard”, “place”, “way”, “trail” and “court” shall generally be applied where applicable and appropriate.
(F) The original roadway names and designations in the Townsite of Dayton will remain the same, except as otherwise provided by ordinance.
