Salt Lake City just renamed a part of 900 South to ‘Harvey Milk Boulevard’.
This is a so-called ‘honorary designation’. But now I see a conflict.
1) The common tagging practice is that posted names rule. The signs changed to
show the new honorary name: https://goo.gl/photos/xqAxQCwCmPRUGWkm9
<https://goo.gl/photos/xqAxQCwCmPRUGWkm9> . So that would suggest I change the
name to ‘Harvey Milk Boulevard’ and demote ‘900 South’ to name_1 or loc_name.
2) Addressing and geocoding. People will continue to refer to this street as
900 South. Official addresses will not change. That would suggest that I leave
the name=900 South in place and add name_1=Harvey Milk Boulevard.
I went with option 2, here is a segment —>
