Washington Circle edit

Washington Circle is a rotary in the Northwest quadrant that connects Pennsylvania Avenue NW, New Hamphire Avenue NW, 23rd St. NW and K St. NW. K St. NW passes underneath the midpoint of the Circle and connects downtown Washington to the Whitehurst Freeway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.37.178 (talk) 14:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

There are both a Washington Circle and a Washington Avenue in D.C. The circle is named after George Washington, not the state, so it doesn't belong in this article. —D. Monack talk 21:18, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Alaska and Hawaii edit

Were Alaska and Hawaii Avenues (or, for that matter, any other streets named for states added during the 20th century) always named as such? My assumption is that the physical streets might predate the respective statehoods. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Both Alaska Avenue and Hawaii Avenue were named such when they were part of the United States but prior to their admission as states. Some modern-day states were given streets after their admission as states, and others were given streets prior to admission as states. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 05:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Massachusetts Avenue Length Sorting Problem edit

All of the lines in the table use Convert for the distance of the roadway but, for reasons I cannot figure out, Massachusetts Avenue's length is sorted as somewhere between 1.7 and 2.4 miles even though it is listed as 10 miles. Increasing it to 70 or 80 miles gets it to sort properly, but many smaller increases do not fix the problem. I haven't a clue what's going on with this.Czrisher (talk) 16:03, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Why the exceptions for California and Ohio? edit

Is there some reason why California and Ohio have no avenues named for them (California Street, Ohio Drive)? If there is a historical explanation, could this be included in the article?
