Roy Rogers Drive → Scott Avenue, using 6" legend blades that are, for Des Moines, very unusual for being borderless.

Too bad Des Moines doesn't use halves, or I'd have a ton of them. :-/ (Half blocks are either Nth Place on the west side, or Nth Court on the east side.)

Road Thirty-and-a-HalfFleur Drive, as it exits toward downtown Des Moines.

Doesn't follow that "West" isn't a directional. Is (West) Grand located only in the west half of the Windsor street grid?

Now if it's named for a neighbourhood or other location called "West Grand", that'd be another story.

Can you clarify, now that your Tiger-Cats are at halftime? (yes, it's on one of the ESPN networks down here)

Looking at a map of Windsor, the "directionals" seem to be at the end of the name, like it is in Kitchener (for example, Tecumseh Road W and E, and Grand Marais Road W and E). Therefore, I think west is part of the name.
