My main goal was to separate out the directional prefix because, which

You may think it doesn't really belong as part of the street name, and
that may possibly be true in your neighborhood. But in my neighborhood,
it definitely IS part of the street name and can't be left off, for
mailing or not. In my part of the Portland area, SW Takena is a
completely separate unrelated street from NW Takena. In Seattle, Forest
Ave S is completely separate and unrelated from Forest Ave SE.
the same is true for St. Petersburg, Florida. 26th Avenue South is a
completely different street from 26th Avenue North.
