What's in a name: The streets edition

I like this part, from your first link, Rich:

After 170 years of attempt to bring the legal titles into common use, Councils abandoned the contest and gave to those streets their popular names.

So, will it take 170 years for Columbus Boulevard to revert back to Delaware Avenue?

69th Street is just funny to me for its sexual connotation...even more funnier when you see the big "6" and "9" at 69th Street Terminal.
