Macdonald Avenue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macdonald Avenue is the main east-to-west artery in the Oakland suburb of Richmond. It runs in a straight line from the Richmond Parkway through downtown to San Pablo Avenue, after which it continues as a minor street for a few blocks, ending at Ludwig Avenue in El Cerrito. It is nicknamed the 100 years street in honor of the city's 2006 centennial. The portion from about 8th Street through 16th Street was historically the main commercial area of Richmond and is the focus of the Richmond Main Street Initiative, Inc., a state- and nationally-accredited Main Street program designed to preserve and revitalize the downtown area.
