In every other city I have lived in Streets run north-south and Avenues run east-west.
But in Victoria you have many examples of both, for instance Fort Street and Pandora Ave running parallel to each other.
Was there a particular reason for this?

Aren't the meandering irregularities in other streets and roads merely reflections of the old property lines that divided the various farms and estates?
