List of numbered streets in Manhattan
The New York City borough of Manhattan contains 214 numbered east–west streets ranging from 1st to 228th, the majority of them designated in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. These streets do not run exactly east–west, because the grid plan is aligned with the Hudson River, rather than with the cardinal directions. Thus, the majority of the Manhattan grid's "west" is approximately 29 degrees north of true west; the angle differs above 155th Street, where the grid initially ended. The grid now covers the length of the island from 14th Street north.
All numbered streets carry an East or West prefix – for example, East 10th Street or West 10th Street – which is demarcated at Broadway below 8th Street, and at Fifth Avenue at 8th Street and above. The numbered streets carry crosstown traffic. In...

New York: Fifth Avenue (49th to 57th Streets)
Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It stretches north from Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village to West 143rd Street in Harlem. It is considered one of the most expensive and elegant streets in the world.
Originally a narrower thoroughfare, much of Fifth Avenue south of Central Park was widened in 1908, sacrificing its wide sidewalks to accommodate the increasing traffic. The midtown blocks, now famously commercial, were largely a residential district until the start of the 20th century. The first commercial building on Fifth Avenue was erected by Benjamin Altman who bought the corner lot on the northeast corner of 34th Street in 1896, and demolished the "Marble Palace" of his arch-rival, A. T. Stewart. In 1906 his department store, B...

How NYC’s streets became more pedestrian-friendly
Over the past decade, the streets of New York City have undergone a dramatic transformation. Nearly 400 miles of bike lanes were installed, the largest bike share program in North America began and Times Square morphed from a busy thoroughfare into a packed pedestrian plaza. Hari Sreenivasan sits down with former Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, author of the book "Street Fight," to discuss more on rethinking New York's public spaces.

10 Busiest Streets in North America: Streets in the US, Canada and Mexico That Carry the Most People
In previous video's we've looked at the busiest bridges and the biggest interchanges -- this week's time to look at the busiest streets in the US, Canada, and Mexico. And by busy we don't mean the most vehicular traffic. No, we want to know which streets have the most people-moving capacity, whether it's by subway, bus, bike, or car.
It turns out the busiest streets in North America are mostly the ones that are home to some of the busiest subways in the world. We'll look at some of the most crowded subways in the US and Mexico, some of the most frequent buses in the world (BRTs with dedicated lanes), and we'll see some great multimodal streets with protected bike lanes, too.
Streets we hit along the way include New York's Broadway, Queens Boulevard, Lexington Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Eighth...

The New York City borough of Manhattan contains 214 numbered east–west streets ranging from 1st to 228th, the majority of them designated in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. These streets do not run exactly east–west, because the grid plan is aligned with the Hudson River, rather than with the cardinal directions. Thus, the majority of the Manhattan grid's "west" is approximately 29 degrees north of true west; the angle differs above 155th Street, where the grid initially ended. The grid now covers the length of the island from 14th Street north.
All numbered streets carry an East or West prefix – for example, East 10th Street or West 10th Street – which is demarcated at Broadway below 8th Street, and at Fifth Avenue at 8th Street and above. The numbered streets carry crosstown traffic. In general, but with numerous exceptions, even-numbered streets are one-way eastbound and odd-numbered streets are one-way westbound. Most wider streets, and a few of the narrow ones, carry two-way traffic.
Although the numbered streets begin just north of East Houston Street in the East Village, they generally do not extend west into Greenwich Village, which already had established, named streets when the grid plan was laid out by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. Some streets in that area that do continue farther west change direction before reaching the Hudson River.
The highest numbered street on Manhattan Island is 220th Street, but Marble Hill is also within the borough of Manhattan, so the highest street number in the borough is 228th Street. The numbering system continues in the Bronx, up to 263rd Street, though east of Van Cortlandt Park the system ends at 243rd Street. The lowest numbered street in Manhattan is East 1st Street, which runs through Alphabet City near East Houston Street. There is also a First Place in Battery Park City.

Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It stretches north from Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village to West 143rd Street in Harlem. It is considered one of the most expensive and elegant streets in the world.
Originally a narrower thoroughfare, much of Fifth Avenue south of Central Park was widened in 1908, sacrificing its wide sidewalks to accommodate the increasing traffic. The midtown blocks, now famously commercial, were largely a residential district until the start of the 20th century. The first commercial building on Fifth Avenue was erected by Benjamin Altman who bought the corner lot on the northeast corner of 34th Street in 1896, and demolished the "Marble Palace" of his arch-rival, A. T. Stewart. In 1906 his department store, B. Altman and Company, occupied the whole of its block front. The result was the creation of a high-end shopping district that attracted fashionable women and the upscale stores that wished to serve them. Lord & Taylor's flagship store is still located on Fifth Avenue near the Empire State Building and the New York Public Library.
Fifth Avenue originates at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and runs northwards through the heart of Midtown, along the eastern side of Central Park, where it forms the boundary of the Upper East Side and through Harlem, where it terminates at the Harlem River at 142nd Street. Traffic crosses the river on the Madison Avenue Bridge. Fifth Avenue serves as the dividing line for house numbering and west-east streets in Manhattan, just as Jerome Avenue does in the Bronx. It separates, for example, East 59th Street from West 59th Street.
From this zero point for street addresses, numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth Avenue, The building lot numbering system worked similarly on the East Side as well, before Madison & Lexington Aves. were retrofitted into the street grid, confusing the building numbers. Confusingly, an address on a cross street cannot be predicted at the intersection of Madison Ave. or Lexington Ave., as these were added decades after the building numbers. It's as if the two retrofitted avenues are not counted for purposes of cross street addresses.
The "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. For several years starting in the mid-1990s, the shopping district between 49th and 57th Streets was ranked as having the world's most expensive retail spaces on a cost per square foot basis. In 2008, Forbes magazine ranked Fifth Avenue as being the most expensive street in the world. Some of the most coveted real estate on Fifth Avenue are the penthouses perched atop the buildings.
The American Planning Association (APA) compiled a list of "2012 Great Places in America" and declared Fifth Avenue to be one of the greatest streets to visit in America. This historic street has many world-renowned museums, businesses and stores, parks, luxury apartments, and historical landmarks that are reminiscent of its history and vision for the future. By 2018 portions of Fifth Avenue had large numbers of vacant store fronts for long periods, part of a citywide trend of vacant store fronts attributed to high rental costs.

#U2 #WhereTheStreetsHaveNoName #Remastered
Lyrics:
I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside.
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name.
I wanna feel sunlight on my face.
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace.
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).
The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust.
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust.
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).

#U2 #WhereTheStreetsHaveNoName #Remastered
Lyrics:
I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside.
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name.
I wanna feel sunlight on my face.
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace.
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).
The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust.
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust.
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).

10 Busiest Streets in North America: Streets in the US, Canada and Mexico That Carry the Most People

In previous video's we've looked at the busiest bridges and the biggest interchanges -- this week's time to look at the busiest streets in the US, Canada, and Mexico. And by busy we don't mean the most vehicular traffic. No, we want to know which streets have the most people-moving capacity, whether it's by subway, bus, bike, or car.
It turns out the busiest streets in North America are mostly the ones that are home to some of the busiest subways in the world. We'll look at some of the most crowded subways in the US and Mexico, some of the most frequent buses in the world (BRTs with dedicated lanes), and we'll see some great multimodal streets with protected bike lanes, too.
Streets we hit along the way include New York's Broadway, Queens Boulevard, Lexington Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Eighth Avenue, Chicago's Loop, Toronto's Younge Street, San Francisco's Market Street, and Mexico City's Insurgentes, Chapultepec, Zaragoza, and San Antonio Abad.
Come along for the journey and find out which street moves the most people!

Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City's most valuable public space – our streets.
Summer Streets takes place on select Saturdays between 7 am and 1 pm. Miles of NYC’s streets are open in both directions for people to play, walk, and bike. Take a break along the route at one of our rest stops to enjoy free activities. Summer Streets provides space for healthy recreation and encourages New Yorkers to use more sustainable forms of transportation.
On all five Summer Streets days, Citi Bike will offer a limited number of complimentary day passes to non-members, presented by Citi. Go to purchase a Day Pass in the Citi Bike app and use the code CITISUMMER to receive unlimited complimentary unlocks on Citi Bike for 24 hours.
And while New Yorkers have benefited from bonus pedestrian zones with the city’s Open Streets program (thanks for something, pandemic), Summer Streets is the epic Manhattan tradition that opens up miles of thoroughfares for walkers, runners, bicyclists and people-watchers of all ages.
You won’t want to miss the complimentary rest stops which normally include fitness classes, a dog park, arts and crafts workshops, plus walking tours that explore NYC parks and some of the most beautiful NYC buildings. This is truly one of the best things to do in summer in NYC! And did we mention it’s free? No RSVP or tickets are necessary, just come and enjoy all that the wide-open outdoor space of the city has to offer. You may begin to rethink why we even need cars on Park Ave. at all.
When is Summer Streets?
Summer Streets takes place across five consecutive Saturdays. In 2023, Summer Streets will be on July 29th, August 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th from 7am to 1pm.
Where is Summer Streets?
This event takes place in all of five boroughs this year: Queens and Staten Island on July 29; Manhattan on August 5, 12 and 19; and Brooklyn and The Bronx on August 26.
It’s free for all to walk, run, play and bike throughout the Summer Street closures, and there are typically themed rest stops with food and entertainment along the route, which will be announced at a later date for Summer Streets 2023.
Here's the borough breakdown of where you can find Summer Streets throughout NYC this summer:
Summer Streets: Queens on July 29
Vernon Boulevard between 44 Drive and 30 Road
Summer Streets: Staten Island on July 29
Richmond Terrace between York Avenue and Bard Avenue
Summer Streets: Manhattan on August 5, 12 & 19
From Brooklyn Bridge to West 125 Street via:
Lafayette Street and Park Avenue between Brooklyn Bridge and East 109 Street
East 109 Street between Park Avenue and 5th Avenue
5th Avenue between East 109 Street and Central Park North
Central Park North between 5th Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard
Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard between Central Park North and West 125 Street
Summer Streets: Brooklyn on August 26
Eastern Parkway between Grand Army Plaza and Buffalo Avenue
Summer Streets: The Bronx on August 26
Grand Concourse between East Tremont Avenue and Mosholu Parkway
What can I do at Summer Streets?
Again, programming information for this year's Summer Streets is still to come, but in previous iterations of the warm-weather favorite, activities have included food-and-drink tastings, fitness classes, dance parties and more. Stay tuned!
What should I bring to Summer Streets?
Bring yourself, your family, your friends! Plan a meeting spot in advance, because this is New York City, and even in open space, it can get crowded. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle. Have some cash on hand to purchase items and refreshments from outdoor vendors. Plan to take the train or walk a few blocks, as some buses may be rerouted for the event.
Where can I eat at Summer Streets?
Due to New York’s open restaurants setup, many eateries will be open along the Summer Streets route. For a full list of open restaurants along the route, visit the NYC DOT guide.

Where the Streets Have No Name
(The Joshua Tree, 1987)
Where the Streets Have No Name is a song by U2, from their 1987 album, The Joshua Tree. It peaked at #14 in Canada, #10 in The Netherlands and #4 in the United Kingdom.
The song became a staple of live shows, being played 645 times at 642 shows since its inaugural performance 2 April 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. Its critical reception was mostly warm, praised by music critics such as Rolling Stone magazine. In Rolling Stone issue 1054, the song was ranked 28th in the issues list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.
This song is played during the home introduction of the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL and the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL. It was the theme song for ESPNs coverage of the 2006 World Cup.
Lyrics
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Were still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you...
(Its all I can do)
The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
Were beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled into dust
Ill show you a place
High on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
(Its all I can do)
The Joshua Tree is the fifth studio album by U2, released in 1987. The album features the bands exploration of roots rock, with their music exhibiting influences from bluesrock, folk rock, country music, and gospel music. Lyrically, The Joshua Tree depicts the bands fascination with America, but also its discontent with the foreign policy of the United States.
The album increased the bands stature from heroes to superstars, according to Rolling Stone magazine. The album produced several hit singles, including Where the Streets Have No Name, With or Without You, and I Still Havent Found What Im Looking For, all of which remain radio staples.
The Joshua Tree won Grammy Awards for Best Rock performance by a Duo or group with Vocal and Album of the Year in Grammy Awards of 1988. In 2003, the album was ranked number 26 on Rolling Stone magazines list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album is one of the worlds bestselling albums of alltime, having sold over 25 million copies.
