It has been a long held convention to refer to "I" Street as Eye Street so as to not confuse it with an "L" or "1" (one). I think back when this was decided, the letter "I" looked more similar to a "J." (By the way, there is no "J" Street, again to not confuse "J" with "I" or "L" or "1"). So, although the official name of the street is "I Street", it is proper to refer to I Street as Eye Street. Imaine havinge the number "1" on "I" Street -- pretty confusing: 1 I Street NW, depending on penmenship, it could be a different address. So, whenever you see EYE, know it's "I", as there is not other "Eye" Street.
