You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jefferson Avenue''' is a ((convert|63.71|mi|km|adj=mid|-long))((citation needed|date=May 2021)) [[Scenic route|scenic road]] along the eastern part of the [[Metro Detroit|Detroit metropolitan area]] in the [[Southeast Michigan|southeastern part]] of the U.S. state of [[Michigan]]. It travels alongside [[Lake Erie]], the [[Detroit River]], and [[Lake St. Clair]]. This road also provides access to many recreational facilities in the area. West Jefferson Avenue is primarily commercial, while [[East Jefferson Avenue Residential TR|East Jefferson Avenue]] contains a historic residential district.

== History ==
Jefferson is one of five major avenues (along with [[Woodward Avenue|Woodward]], [[Michigan Avenue (Michigan)|Michigan]], [[Grand River Avenue|Grand River]], and [[Gratiot Avenue|Gratiot]]) planned by Judge [[Augustus B. Woodward]] in 1805 that extend from downtown Detroit in differing directions. First surveyed in 1807, it was named Main Street. It was later renamed Jefferson Avenue after U.S. President [[Thomas Jefferson]], who was a friend of Woodward.<ref>((cite news |title = Detroit's Street Names Honor Early Leaders |first = Mary |last = Bailey |work = [[The Detroit News]] |date = February 17, 2000 |url = http://apps.detnews.com/apps/history/index.php?id=199 |access-date = April 17, 2012 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://archive.today/20120707110636/http://apps.detnews.com/apps/history/index.php?id=199 |archive-date = July 7, 2012 ))</ref> Jefferson Avenue was planned to extend due east of downtown, parallel to the Detroit River. Later additions to the road have extended it west of downtown as well, where it continues to travel near the waterfront through the [[Downriver]] area.

== Route description ==
[[File:DPMoverRenCenstop.jpg|thumb|The [[Detroit People Mover]]'s [[Renaissance Center]] station is on Jefferson Avenue.]]
[[File:Hurlbut Memorial Gate Detroit MI.jpg|thumb|[[Hurlbut Memorial Gate|Chauncey Hurlbut Memorial Gate]], Waterworks Park]]
This road originates in the City of Detroit. Jefferson passes under [[Huntington Place]], but such structures as [[150 West Jefferson]] and the [[UAW-Ford National Programs Center]] are located upon it as it rises to ground level there. It then passes through much of eastern Detroit and then the [[Grosse Pointe|Grosse Pointe communities]], [[St. Clair Shores, Michigan|St. Clair Shores]], and [[Harrison Township, Michigan|Harrison Township]], among others. It also serves as the backbone of the rich neighborhoods of the Grosse Pointe communities, skirting the eastern portion of Detroit. Westward, Jefferson Avenue passes under Huntington Place, by the former site of [[Joe Louis Arena]], and through [[southwest Detroit]], then it passes through the [[Downriver]] communities of [[River Rouge, Michigan|River Rouge]], [[Ecorse, Michigan|Ecorse]], [[Wyandotte, Michigan|Wyandotte]], [[Riverview, Michigan|Riverview]], [[Trenton, Michigan|Trenton]], [[Gibraltar, Michigan|Gibraltar]], and [[Brownstown Charter Township, Michigan|Brownstown Township]] before crossing the [[Jefferson Avenue–Huron River and Harbin Drive–Silver Creek Canal Bridges|Jefferson Avenue Bridge]] into [[Berlin Charter Township, Michigan|Berlin Township]] in [[Monroe County, Michigan|Monroe County]], intersecting with roads leading to bridges to [[Grosse Ile Township, Michigan|Grosse Ile]] (Grosse Ile Parkway in Trenton leading up to the [[Wayne County Bridge]] and Bridge Road in Riverview leading up to the [[Grosse Ile Toll Bridge]]). The [[Trenton Channel Power Plant]] and [[Elizabeth Park (Michigan)|Elizabeth Park]] are located along Jefferson Avenue in Trenton.

Although the road is continuous with Jefferson Avenue to the north and south, the name changes in Wyandotte to Biddle Avenue; similarly, in [[Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan|Grosse Pointe Farms]] and [[Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan|Grosse Pointe Shores]], the name changes to Lake Shore Drive. The name also changes to U.S. Turnpike Road in Berlin Township after crossing the Jefferson Avenue Bridge. A gap occurs at the former Selfridge Air Force Base, now a golf course and the [[Selfridge Air National Guard Base]].

Jefferson Avenue's east end is at 23 Mile Road, near the boundary between [[Chesterfield Township, Michigan|Chesterfield Township]] and [[New Baltimore, Michigan|New Baltimore]]; the western end is in Berlin Township at the intersection with [[Dixie Highway]] and Strong Road.

There are two small gaps in Jefferson Avenue on Detroit's southwest side. The first, one block long between Clark and Scotten streets, is occupied by the [[Port of Detroit|Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority]]'s Detroit Terminal. The second gap is just under two blocks long, from a point east of 23rd Street to 21st Street under the [[Ambassador Bridge]], and was instituted to increase the security of that bridge's Detroit anchorage.

In downtown Detroit, the southern end of [[M-10 (Michigan highway)|M-10]] is routed along Jefferson to the corner of Randolph Street/[[M-3 (Michigan highway)|M-3]]. From the corner of Randolph to the southern end of [[Interstate 375 (Michigan)|I-375]] between Beaubien and St. Antoine streets, Jefferson is the extremely short, ((convert|0.015|mi|km|adj=mid|-long)), unsigned [[Interstate 375 Business (Detroit, Michigan)|Business Spur I-375]].
