Route
The 1907 city ordinance establishing the boulevard describes it as "extending from Prospect Street between Warren Avenue and Second Avenue North, in a northeasterly direction, to an intersection with Galer Street near Bigelow Avenue; thence northerly following the general direction of Bigelow Avenue as nearly as the contours of the ground will permit, to Wheeler Street; thence westerly to Nob Hill Avenue; thence southerly to McGraw Street; thence westerly to Second Avenue North; thence northwesterly to Smith Street, west of Warren Avenue; thence westerly along Smith Street to a point east of First Avenue West; thence southerly to McGraw Street and Second Avenue West; thence westerly to Third Avenue West; thence northwesterly to Fifth Avenue West and Smith Street; thence northerly to Ray Street; thence westerly to Eighth Avenue West; thence northerly to West Armour Street; thence northwesterly to West Fulton Street; thence westerly to Ninth Avenue West; thence southwesterly to Tenth Avenue West and West Armour Street; thence southerly to West Wheeler Street; thence easterly to Eighth Avenue West; thence southerly to McGraw Street; thence easterly to Seventh Avenue West; thence southerly to Blaine Street; thence westerly to Eighth Avenue West; thence southerly to West Lee Street; thence southeasterly to West Highland Drive and Seventh Avenue West…" West Highland Drive itself completes this as a loop.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
