Western Avenue (Washington, D.C.) : ウィキペディア英語版
Western Avenue (Washington, D.C.)
Western Avenue is one of three boundary streets between Washington, D.C., and the state of Maryland. It follows a southwest-to-northeast line, beginning at Westmoreland Circle in the south and ending at Oregon Avenue NW in the north. It is roughly in length. First proposed in 1893, it was constructed somewhat fitfully from about 1900 to 1931.
==Description==
Western Avenue passes through largely residential neighborhoods on its journey north until it reaches the retail-heavy Friendship Heights neighborhood, where it crosses Wisconsin Avenue NW. After a short distance north through more residential areas, it passes through Chevy Chase Circle, where it crosses Connecticut Avenue NW. Its remaining length is again residential, passing through Pinehurst Circle until it reached Oregon Avenue NW. For most of its length it is a two-lane street with curbside parking, although it widens to four lanes around the traffic-heavy Friendship Heights area. The street lies entirely within the District of Columbia and is itself not the boundary of the city, which "runs right through the front lawns of the houses on the Maryland side of Western Avenue." 〔(John Kelly, "Clarifying the D.C.-Md. border," ''Washington Post,'' September 15, 2012 ) Accessed 2013-09-23.〕
