Maybe it's the suburbanizing of the island.
Craig Barshinger, the St. John resident who is the VI Senate's At Large Member, wants the island to have street names and houses to have addresses. At a recent Rotary meeting, the Senator used a GPS unit to show how such a system would work. Street addresses would be determined by the distance from the beginning of a road, based on its latitude and longitude, according to a report of he meeting by Bob Schlesinger.
Barshinger plans to introduce legislation to allow neighbors to choose their street's name and agree on a sequence of numbers. He is hoping condominium associations and homeowners groups will help him gather information on how such a project could be completed.

Each road name has to be different to the island, Barshinger added. He's even thinking of having an arbitrator involved to make sure organization is clear.
