There Is No West Meadow (Avenue)

I live in East Meadow. There is no West Meadow. This is not the eastern half of a town (more accurately hamlet) called Meadow. No, the full proper name of the town I live in is East Meadow.
I also live on East Meadow Avenue. Kind of like how there is a York Avenue, New York, New York. Anyhow, since the street is named after the town, there is no West Meadow Avenue. Unsurprisingly, this isn't the eastern portion of a street called Meadow Avenue. The street, all of it, is just East Meadow Avenue.
So please stop calling it E. Meadow Avenue. This isn't the eastern half of a street called Meadow Avenue. Thanks.
