Edmonton is just weird, not broken. As far as I know, Edmonton was running out of street numbers as the city grew south and east (people don't like negative street numbers, oddly enough), so they started using a quadrant naming system. However, this means that virtually the entire city falls within the NW quadrant, except for a number of new subdivisions. Few people actually use the NW/NE/SE/SW bits as of yet, but they will likely have to start as the city continues to grow. Cheers Matthew
