I doubt it, that would be too confusing for people used to the current names. Even the way they set it up initially was confusing. Washington was the center point, then Presidents alternated North and South in order of their presidency. So Adams (#2) is 1 North of Wash., then Jefferson (#3) is one South, and so on. But then they skipped some Presidents and its all confusing.
I think a better system would've been something like the major East-West road to be called "Main St". Then all the streets going North of there could be President names (in order, going North) and to the South all the streets could be State & Capitol names in alphabetical order (or Vice Versa with Presidents south and Cities/States North) Like so:
-----Harrison St-----
-----Van Buren St -----
-----Jackson St-----
-----Quincy St-----
-----Madison St-------
-----Jefferson St-------
-----Adams St---------
-----Washington St-----
-----Main Street-----
-----Alabama St-----
-----Montgomery St-----
-----Arizona St------
-----Phoenix St-----
-----Arkansas St-----
-----Little Rock St-----
-----California St-----
-----Sacramento St-----
But, its way too late now to change it and it would be super confusing. But that would've been a handy system, almost as easy to navigate as our numbered Street & Avenue system.
