It turns out, I actually never knew what an avenue and a boulevard were I think we all need a refresher! From the 100% Invisible City book 💓

Interesting. The word comes from French, and it doesn't mean the same thing at all in that language. "Avenue" is either "a wide path leading to a place" or "a wider street, generally with trees". Trees on both sides too. That being said, the definition seems curious in any context. A cursory glance at any American city will give you avenues intersecting with each other, regardless of perpendicularity.
