I'm going to start a petition to change Margaret Ave to Bierwagen Street.

Bierwagen Name Meaning
German: literally ‘beer wagon’, an occupational name for a drayman (a man who delivered beer to taverns and inns).

It was actually Briar Avenue that was called Bierwagen Avenue until the changes in 1951. There was no reason for the change: the other streets had duplicates in the other municipalities, but not Bierwagen.
