'''Exeter Ave''' is one of [[Algonquin]]'s seven North-South avenues. It serves the inner west side of Algonquin extending for 13 blocks, making it the shortest avenue in [[Algonquin]]. It's based on New York's [[wp:Seventh Avenue|Seventh Avenue]]. Despite its short length, it travels further north than any other avenue, starting from the intersection with [[Grummer Road]] along the north coast. The road travels south through [[Northwood]] and [[East Holland]] before reaching the boundary with [[Middle Park]] on [[Topaz Street]]. The large middle park disallows Exeter Avenue from continuing further, therefore the avenue re-emerges from Nickel Street along the [[Middle Park]] and [[Star Junction]] boundaries on the other side of the park. The Avenue is now fused with [[Denver Ave]] to form the [[Denver-Exeter Avenue]]. The avenue becomes double sized, with four lanes of traffic in a purely southbound direction. The combined avenue travels south for seven blocks through the [[Star Junction]] and [[The Triangle]] districts. Upon reaching Garnet Street at [[The Triangle]] and [[Suffolk]] borders the [[Denver-Exeter Avenue|Denver-Exeter]] and Exeter Avenues terminate, whilst Denver Avenue continues further south. | '''Exeter Ave''' is one of [[Algonquin]]'s seven North-South avenues.
