I guess once it got lampshaded that people don't know what the ghost army really is because of its name, using the same word for both is just part of the worldbuilding - in-world characters get confused too. :)
Oh yeah, very good point! :D
Because the way I see it, if along the sides of the street there were roads, then it means that the street was between them?
I think the whole thing, river and all, is being called a "street", when we'd be more likely to conceptualise it as two separate streets, one on each side of the river? That's how I understood it, anyway. I guess you can imagine the (narrow) river in the middle like the car lanes of a modern street, with the "roads" on each side as the equivalent of the pavements/sidewalks.
