Posted by ChicagoPCCLCars on Sat Aug 7 17:21:11 2021, in response to Re: CTA Moving Historic Chicago Building, posted by Joe V on Sat Aug 7 06:47:24 2021. Sorry, Joe V is wrong. If you moved 1 block, your address will bump by 100, not 50. Chicago is laid in straight lines....eight blocks to a mile. There is one exception....south side, between Madison St. to 31st St. Madison to 12th St. (Roosevelt), one mile, 12 blocks....Roosevelt to 22nd St (Cermak), one mile, 10 blocks....Cermak to 31st, one mile, 9 blocks. All the rest, 1 mile streets, called sectional streets, are all 8 blocks apart all the way to the city limits, 138th St. 39th, 47th, 55th, 63rd, 71st, 79th, 87th, 95th, 103rd, 111th, 119th, 127th. 130th, 138th. You're wondering, how did the streets change to even numbers?? You've crossed the South Indian Boundary line.Going back to Jos V's question. Each block has address numbers from 100 to 159, even on west side of the street, odd on the east side. The next block starts at 200. You skip 160 to 199. Next to 79th St. all addresses begin with 79XX. Next to 95th, addresses start with 95XX. Notice how sectional streets mark things in the 'L' system....63rd the old Jackson Park line, 95th, the end of the Red line, 130th, the extension of the Red line if it gets built. This article only deals with the south side. All other sides are the same. Every street has address number. Western Ave, is 2400W. The first address west of Western is 2400, 2401 on the odd side of the street. Kedzie Ave is 3200W. Stony Island Ave. is 1600E. Belmont is 3200N. Howard St. is 7200N. I left out the "RE" in the subject. Sorry for the repost. David Harrison |
