At least the core of Washington, D.C., is a grid of numbered north-south and lettered east-west streets. With a couple of exceptions, however, all avenues are diagonals, which periodically intersect at traffic circles or at least merge into other major avenues. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C.

Referential loops

added info from a Tucson newspaper about stravenues -- the article mentions CZ as a source - aiee, feedback loop! :-) J. Noel Chiappa 14:03, 14 March 2008 (CDT)

Well, I *mean* that the newspaper article says that it used CZ as a source for some of its info. The CZ article (written by me) was in existence before the newspaper article. I think it's permissible to mention this in *our* article, but maybe it isn't clear the way it stand now. Hayford Peirce 14:24, 14 March 2008 (CDT)
No worries, I was just being silly. J. Noel Chiappa 14:42, 14 March 2008 (CDT)

Is it really that unique?

At least the core of Washington, D.C., is a grid of numbered north-south and lettered east-west streets. With a couple of exceptions, however, all avenues are diagonals, which periodically intersect at traffic circles or at least merge into other major avenues. Howard C. Berkowitz 18:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know, the *term* is unique. Many other cities, of course, have diagonals, D.C. being a prime example. Hayford Peirce 18:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
