Which avenue has a designation of 6000 North?

1. Peterson Ave

2. Addison

3. Cicero Ave

4. Western Ave

The correct answer is: Peterson Ave

Peterson Avenue is recognized as 6000 North in Chicago's street naming convention. This system uses a grid format based on a central point, with streets numbered based on their distance north or south from the baseline established at Madison Street and State Street. The designation of 6000 North indicates that Peterson Avenue is located six miles north of this baseline district. In contrast, the other options, like Addison, Cicero, and Western Avenue, have different designations and are situated at varying locations from the baseline. Addison Avenue, for instance, has a designation of 1600 North, which places it much closer to the center of the city than Peterson. Similarly, Cicero Avenue designates a varying distance from the baseline and does not align with the 6000 North designation. Thus, Peterson Avenue uniquely fits the criteria established for the 6000 North designation.
