Shingle Creek Parkway

What first comes to mind when you read that word shingle?
  1. Roof shingle: I have a collocation clash with roof shingles and roads (I can't think of a usage of roofing shingles that also fits with the context of a street/road), so this association does not fit.
  2. The Viral Disease?: I default to thinking this, even though the road name is singular but the disease is "plural" - shingles
Makes me wonder from where this Minneapolis road name really came!
