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.

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

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.
