What is the numerical designation for the street Bryn Mawr?

  1. 5600 N

  2. 4800 N

  3. 4400 N

  4. 6000 N

The correct answer is: 5600 N

Bryn Mawr Avenue is designated as 5600 North in the Chicago street numbering system. This system uses a grid layout where the city is divided into quadrants, with State Street and Madison Street as the central points. The numerical designation for streets corresponds to their distance in blocks from these central points. Bryn Mawr, located north of the Chicago River, aligns with the 5600 North designation, signifying that it is 56 blocks north of Madison Street. Knowing this makes it clear why 5600 N is the numerical designation for Bryn Mawr, allowing for accurate navigation and understanding of the city's grid layout. The other options do not align with the correct street designation for Bryn Mawr.
