What is the numerical address for Canal Street?

  1. 500 W

  2. 540 W

  3. 600 W

  4. 640 W

The correct answer is: 500 W

The numerical address for Canal Street is 500 W. This designation is consistent with the grid system used in Chicago, where streets are assigned numerical values based on their distance from the central point of the city, usually the intersection of State and Madison streets. Canal Street runs north-south through the city, and it is assigned the "500 W" numerical designation, indicating its position in relation to the central axis of the city’s grid. The other options represent addresses that do not correspond to Canal Street. The values assigned to these addresses place them on different streets within the vicinity of Chicago, which helps to reinforce the importance of understanding the city's unique street grid system for navigation and identification of locations.
