City of Denver wants us to add north and east to addresses so they can find us better?
Has our society been dumbed down this much already?

You already know the answer to that question.

I know in general, but hoped it hadnt affected those that matter.
I sense some kind of discrimination against ?west? and ?south?.
If this is something that cant be learned by the first responders, I don't want them responding. Denver is on of the easiest metro areas to get around in. The downtown, crooked part is a bit wonky, but still manageable. This is a prime example of fixing something that isn't broken. Well, guess all the big stuff is taken care of.

It is to help antifa.......
Not necessarily downtown but the Denver area has a major issue with naming all the streets the same friggin name. That's gotten me lost more than once.

If they are too stupid to figure out our simple address convention, they are likely too stupid to know how to save anyone, let alone apply a bandaid.
Seems like everyday to avg IQ in Denver drops.
Matter of time before Parks Dept is using Brawndo.

Just don’t ever call 911 from Broadway and Bayaud. Heads would ‘splode.

I read through that thread and another from the same year. That was back when everyone on here was polite to each other and helpful. Ahh the memories.
I'm talking about when they do things like Interlocken Blvd, loop, pkway, drive, place, way, lane .... All.in the same area. 50 roads all with the same name.
Well why don't you just pee, piss, urinate, relieve yourself on my parade!
Yep. I Looks like we had our fill of the big city. Lot has changed in last seven years. I like the original thread, with the breakdown of the streets and highways of Colorado. Close-in Denver is actually laid out decent.

Exactly

See. You?re just proving their point. The roads don?t have the same name. Interlocken Way is an entirely different street than Interlocken Place.

Well it does have what plants crave. Lol
Meanwhile, down here . . . they've spent the last several years deciding that they need to remove the directional designations.

Yep. Had us remove the "South" from our address. Been that way for a while though (about 10 years if I remember correctly).

Further proof that there is discrimination taking place against ?south?.

I wish they'd change my Ave. to a St. one less letter to deal with [Sarcasm2]

But Golden has you remove the other direction.
We need to add South, East, North, West to the Interlocken addresses so they can be found.
Or, how about just the grid system used in Grand Junction and Salt Lake City (radiating from the Temple)
[blaster]
Could be Greeley where you can be at the intersection of 10th and 10th (St and Ave) (numbered streets both laterally and vertically instead of named x numbered)
I used to have to give directions all the god damn time to lost people etc.
In my neighborhood, we have a Road, Way, and Trail, with one name, and another named as Road, Drive, and Place, another as Drive, Street, and Lane, yet another as Trail, Way, and Place, and another as Street and Drive, and they're inter-connected. A large area with basically 5 street names of varying flavor.
Somebody must have been given a deadline for the names on a Friday afternoon.
I remember when I lived in Lake Oswego, OR as a kid. The town center had streets that were alphabetical and ran east-west, and numbered in the north-south directions. Navigating was as simple as playing Battleship.

I really dislike that
I live on 119th. Not 119th Court or Circle, or Place or , Avenue, or Street but on Way.
Funny thing is I don?t think anything I have ordered has been delivered to the wrong street. The wrong address several times but always on the correct street. I guess UPS and Fed Ex and the USPS don?t get as confused as emergency responders.

The removed the East for ours about that far back, I think. But in my parents' neighborhood (other part of The Ranch) they removed the East I think in the last 5 years or so. Can't remember. I just think it's funny that they bother.
Some of the conversations I've had when ordering things to be delivered can be funny.
Me: Address is 123 Whatever Dr.
Them: Is that East Whatever Dr.?
Me: Well . . . yes, but no.
Them: Well, which is it?
Me: It's both, technically. If your system has East then go with that . . . but it's not really East anymore. There is no West Whatever Dr.
I remember when the Postal Service asked us to use Littleton instead of Highlands Ranch. Then the drivers license and vehicle registration offices were like, "screw that, it's Highlands Ranch".

I wore a brown outfit for a spell... it happened but it was actually pretty rare.
I suspect sorting caught it long before it made it onto my truck, however.

LOL . . . I was gonna mention that one, too.
