Old talk

A recent anonymous contributor seemed confident that an avenue originated in city planning. Reverted. Any early usage we might quote? --Wetman 05:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The outcome was: no consensus to merge. NickPenguin 20:19, 24 March 2014

Prospekt (street) is an article about the Russian concept of avenue. The word is basically a straight transliteration of the Russian word "проспект", which is adequately translated as "avenue". Since this is the English Wikipedia, articles on transliterated words should not be created unless the word also happens to be a loanword. This one is not.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 11, 2011; 14:12 (UTC)

Merge Prospekt (street) into Dual carriageway or Street, not here. This is a specific landscape design element use of term avenue, with or without a street [motor avenue].—Look2See1 t a l k → 06:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't think dual carriageway is a good choice, but merging it into street should be fine.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 13, 2011; 14:29 (UTC)

I think perhaps merging Prospekt (street) into Boulevard would be the best choice -- but two things are clear: (1) "Prospekt" needs to be merged somewhere and eliminated as an independent article, and (2) "avenue" is not the best place for it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Moved from Talk:Tree Avenue or tree alley (allée)

I need to withdraw this article.after using a different name "avenue" instead of "tree avenue" I found an existing article which I'll edit to include my information. Sorry to inconvenience anyone.Mlane (talk) 16:22, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Mlane: As you did not appear to have completed that merge to avenue (landscape), I have now done it. – Fayenatic London 19:48, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

"The French term allée is used..."

As the three examples given (from French-speaking Canada, Croatia and Germany) show, "allée" is only used in languages other than English - what's more, the word used in Zagreb is "Aleja" ("Aleja Bologne"), and in Berlin it's "Allee" without an accent - so the French word is only used in French-speaking countries (makes sense, doesn't it?). I feel this should either be deleted (along with the reference to "allée" at the beginning of the article), or else expanded to indicate that this doesn't apply in English - but then what's it doing here in the first place? And "alley" won't do either, since it only means a narrow, often dilapidated and insanitary side street, invariably without the trees that make an avenue what it is (see the reference to the "Alley" article at the end of this one). It's incorrectly used several times in this article, so I've changed it to "avenue" throughout - or, in the case of the nonsensical "Bologna Alley" in Zagreb (it's a major four-lane road, not a poky little English "alley"!), deleted it altogether .213.127.210.95 (talk) 15:13, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
