Main Street (Kansas City, Missouri)

Main Street or Main is a major north/south main street that runs in Kansas City, Missouri. At its northern terminus, it begins at the Missouri River as a dead end street, with heavier traffic supported as a main street south of 6th Street south to Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard and Brookside Boulevard. The street becomes a neighborhood street south of the Plaza with interrupted service continuing to 97th Street.

Main Street serves as the main administrative north/south dividing line in the city and standardizes addresses for Kansas City, Missouri, and several surrounding suburbs. Cross-streets are labelled "E" to the east of Main Street and "W" to the west. This should not be confused with the Kansas City "East Side" and "West Side," which is a cultural distinction separated by Troost Avenue, located approximately 1 mile east of Main Street, which has arisen from a history of racist segregation in the city.[1]

Main Street was renamed "H And R Block Way" from 13th Street to 14th Street. It is named "Carl J. DiCapo Drive" from Pershing Road (24th Street) to 28th Street.
