Councils will shortly undertake the task of renaming the Northside streets which conflict with thoroughfares in old Pittsburgh. It will be no easy matter, as there are over 500 duplications. This work will probably be begun by the bureau of surveys and later turned over to a special committee of councils.
The general opinion among councilmen is that the Northside be allowed to retain the names of their more important thoroughfares, such as Federal and Ohio streets and rechristen the duplicate streets in Pittsburgh proper instead. These two streets, for instance, on this side of the river, are comparatively insignificant.
That the renaming of Northside thoroughfares should be accomplished as soon as possible is evidenced by the fact that the postoffice department is experiencing considerable confusion as a result of conflicting street names. Many letters are received addressed to such and such a street "Greater Pittsburgh." If there happens to be two such streets of the same name, there is more or less delay before the missive reaches its destination.
Precaution taken by the local postoffice authorities makes it unnecessary for councils to revise the lists of streets of incoming boroughs from the postal standpoint. Before these boroughs were given the service of the local postal department they were required to abandon any street names which conflicted with city thoroughfares.
Following is a complete list of Northside thoroughfares each of which has a duplicate in the name of a street, avenue or alley within the boundaries of old Pittsburgh:
