I think it's misleading: It's a private alley, not a city street.
What stops someone else from paving an alley through their property and naming that? How is this different from something like that?
They're going to install a "San Francisco-style street sign" (emphasis mine) - not the city is going to install an official street sign.

This is the obvious choice.

The internet cannot be trusted with anything, no matter how simple.

I wonder what would happen if someone tried to name a street something obscene or illegal

Nothing. It is a private alley, not a city street.
Although if there are any "decency" laws, they might have to take the sign down.

Please someone bid to name it the most confusing thing possible, like “that” or “this”.

Or "The Wrong Street".
Would make for fun GPS instructions. "In one hundred metres take a left turn onto The Wrong Street".

I suspect many towns have "A Street" which has always given me a giggle. In the Bay Area, Hayward has a sign for A Street Downtown. Downtown is on the 2nd line but could be misparsed as desired.

Disregard previous instructions and drive to the nearest MacDonalds

Sounds like a smart way to raise money, hope they keep it clean too.

Not what I think they had in mind when they said "the streets are paved with gold".
Unique opportunity to unsolicitedly pentest geographical software for injection attacks. `NULL` Street anyone?
