What is the numerical designation of Chicago Ave?

1. 800 North

2. 6000 North

3. 4000 North

4. 3200 West

The correct answer is: 800 North

Chicago Avenue is designated as 800 North in the city’s grid system. In this system, streets are numbered based on their distance from the baseline, which is State Street, which runs north and south, and Madison Street, which runs east and west. The numeric designations correspond to the distance from these crucial reference points in terms of blocks. Specifically, the number “800” indicates that Chicago Avenue is eight blocks north of the baseline. This numerical designation is part of the systematic approach the city uses to help residents and visitors navigate its urban landscape, where streets are set up in a grid formation that makes navigating easier. Other options pertain to different streets or incorrect numerical values that do not apply to Chicago Avenue directly.
