#Aiatee (Aiatee)
Garden path. Sort of: this one used to be #Aia tee, garden road/path, but it wasn’t enough, so they added a ‘street’ (Aiatee tänav) to produce ‘garden road/path street’. See #Aia for clarification of the mess.

#Aiatee tänav in 1987 when Aia regained its name (no duplicates please!), then back to Aia tee in 2014 (duplicates are cool!). Such are the joys of #odonymy.
