Avenida Figueroa Alcorta
Avenida Figueroa Alcorta is a major thoroughfare in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a length of over along the city's northside.
==History==
The rapid northward growth of the city of Buenos Aires during the late nineteenth century was facilitated by plans for a number of boulevards in the area by Mayor Torcuato de Alvear. Shortly after the opening of Viceroy Vértiz Avenue (today Avenida del Libertador) in 1906, a parallel boulevard was begun to serve the numerous upscale neighborhoods planned for the largely undeveloped northside.〔(''palermonline.com'' )〕
Planned with the assistance of French Argentine urbanist Carlos Thays and around his recent remodeling of Parque Tres de Febrero, the thoroughfare was opened on the 1910 centennial of the May Revolution that led to independence and was, accordingly, named ''Avenida Centenario''. Thays also designed a new residential neighborhood anchored around the new avenue: Barrio Parque, opened for development in 1912.〔(''todopropiedades.com'' )〕 The Sanitation Works Commission's massive water reclamation plant was subsequently built along the avenue's northern stretch.
Chrysler Motors opened an assembly plant on the avenue in 1932 (since demolished), an investment complemented by a testing facility housed in an ornate structure north of Barrio Parque (the former facility today houses condominiums and an automobile museum).〔(''auto-historia.com'' )〕 The northern end of the avenue became home to the River Plate Football Club's monumental stadium, finished in 1938.〔(''sitioriverplatense.com'' )〕 The avenue was later graced by tennis and country clubs, parks and a number of monumental public buildings, though its boulevard medians were removed around 1970 to accommodate growing traffic. Excavations along the avenue in 2008 uncovered remains of the former ''Hansen's Café'', among the city's first and most popular tango redoubts until its demolition in 1912.〔(Clarín )〕
