Metropolitan Parkway (Atlanta)
- Metropolitan Parkway (Atlanta)
-
Metropolitan Parkway, formerly known as Stewart Avenue, is a major thoroughfare through southwestern Atlanta, Georgia. It is signed throughout as U.S. 19/U.S.41/S.R. 3. Once Metropolitan Parkway reaches Whitehall Street (the southern portion of Peachtree Street), the parkway turns into Northside Drive northward to Marietta, Georgia.
Once it reaches Hapeville, it is called Dogwood Street, and it ends at Central Avenue. 19/41/3 continues east down Central Avenue.
Metropolitan Parkway was once known as "Stewart Avenue", after one of the street's first inhabitants Andrew P. Stewart. The name was changed because of the area's red light district reputation, especially for prostitution activity in motels. However, prostitution remains on the renamed street.[1][2]
