Okay, So I am a bit new here. I tried to search the archives, but that has only had limited success.

  alt_name = "K Street Northwest" (would anyone really write this?)

I agree, but the abbreviation police held their ground last time we tried this, so...

So I would like to know has anyone tried to get the wiki page changed so that it is not so rigid?

Or do people here really think everything should be expand to the fullest.

Really, would anyone say: "United States Highway 29". Rather than "U S Highway 29" or more likely just "U S 29".

In the above example would anyone write out the directional suffix. In fact Alan didn't even know if that would be "Northwest" or "NorthWest".

At least "1st" hasn't been expand to "First", etc.  But just wait...
