How many roads are named after 'Sesame Street' characters?

According to Google Maps, there is a section of Lake Forest, California, with roads named after Grover, Kermit, Oscar, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster. Silverdale, Washington, has Big Bird and Cookie Monster. Pella, Iowa, has a Cookie Monster, which is really just a little unpaved road. A few other places have a Big Bird.

Apparently the one in Lake Forest is a RV Park.  Appears to be retiree oriented.

I know of a Stoner Dr in West Hartford, CT (and no, there isn't a house number 420).

There's also one in Bon Air, Virginia. It leads to the Richmond PBS station.

There is a Grover Road in Millersville, Maryland right off I-97. However, I'm not sure the DOT had Sesame Street in mind when they were thinking of what to name it.

Well, the New Jersey Turnpike has two service plazas with characters' names in them: Grover Cleveland, and Molly Pitcher.  (Molly was a mail lady in Season 3, played by Charlotte Rae.)  Of course, at that age I also thought of Sesame Street when we got off at Exit 13 -- same number as the channel for WNET, or PBS in New York City (even Billy Joel notes that in the song "Pressure").  Where we were in NJ, we could also pick up PBS on Channel 12 from Philly/Wilmington, but I don't think I ever, ever, got on or off at Exit 12, for as often as I've taken the NJTP.

The main PBS station in Cincinnati is Channel 48. There was a singer-songwriter who was popular before I was born named Bert Sommer whose highest charting hit single peaked at #48. I think it's hilarious that a performer with the same name as a 'Sesame Street' character had a record that peaked at our local PBS station's channel number.

Indeed, I just picked myself up off the floor, I was laughing so hard.

There is a neighborhood in Raleigh where the streets are named for Winnie the Pooh characters.

Well, if we include the human characters that really opens things up.

... Not to mention a whole city in California named "Grover Beach"....

If we're going to expand this to other unusual street names, there's a street in Elkhart County, IN, named Hemlock Court and every time I drive by there I ask myself who would ever buy a house there? I think I'd need a house to be at least 20% below market value before I'd tell my friends, family and employer that I moved to Hemlock Court.

Well, as of 2019...

How is that any different than Maple, Oak, Pine, Spruce ...

They named it after the tree, not the poison.

I thought they named it after Sherlock Hemlock.

There's a whole town in Utah named Elmo. It's one of the few incorporated places in the state that is not on the state highway system.
