In particular ,the Police and Fire Departments have pro - vided guidance for improving the street naming system in order to simplify navigation of emergency responders . North of Lacamas Lake there was 1 ,171 acres of land an - nexed in 2008 ,which added to the approximately 8 ,335 acres currently within the Camas City limits .This rela - tively large area annexed to the City predicated the need for a revision to the City ’s street naming system .The intent is that as the City expands ,this manual will con - tribute to a seamless transition of county properties into our City limits . 3 StreetNamingManualStreetPrefixesandNamesA.Allroadsbothpublicandprivateshallbeprefixed“N”forNorth,“NW”forNorthwest,“SW”forSouthwest,“NE”forNortheast,“S”forSouth,and“SE”forSoutheast.B.AllroadsbothpublicandprivateshallbeaddressedinaccordancewiththemostcurrentversionoftheCityofCamasStreetNamingGrid.C.AllalphabeticalsequencesshallbebaseduponcategorieshavingPreferably,thenamesofCamas’historicallysignificantpeopleorsites,geographicfeatures,ornativefloraandfaunashouldbeconsideredbeforeallothernames.RefertoAppendixforlistingofstreetnameexamples.commoncharacteristics.DirectionDesignationA.Allroadsbothpublicandprivate,runninginaneasterly-westerlydirectionshallgenerallybedesignated"avenues"andshallbeprecededgenerallybyanumeraldesignation.B.Allroads,bothpublicandprivate,runninginanortherly-southerlydirectionshallgenerallybedesignated"street"andshallbeprecededbyanominaldesignation.C.Drive.Streetsnotgenerallyconformingtothenortherly-southerlyoreasterly-westerlygrid,butotherwisegenerallyfollowingastraightcourseshallbedesignatedas"drive,"precededbythesamenumericalornominaldesignationasthestreetnearesttoitinsequence.D.Courts.Dead-endstreetsnotoverfourhundredfeetinlengthandnotacontinuationofastreetshallbedesignated"court."E.Circles."Dead-end"streetsnotoverfourhundredfeetinlengthandnotacontinuationofanavenueshallbedesignated"circle."F.Place.Anystreetwhichislocatedbetweentwootherswhichareconsecutivelynamedinalphabeticalsequence,butwhichdoesnotactuallyorlogicallyfitintothesequence,shallbedesignatedas"place"4 preceded by the same nominal designation as that street immediately preceding it in sequence.
