Boulevard
A boulevard (French, originally meaning bastion), often abbreviated Blvd, is a type of large road, usually running through a city.
In modern American usage, it often means a wide, multi-lane arterial thoroughfare, often divided with a central median, and perhaps with roadways along each side designed as slow travel and parking lanes and for bicycle and pedestrian usage, often with an above-average quality of landscaping and scenery.
