Avenue D is the easternmost named avenue in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, east of Avenue C and west of the FDR Drive. It runs through East 13th and Houston Streets, and continues south of Houston Street as Columbia Street until petering out at Grand Street. Avenues A, B, C and D are the origin of the name of the section of the East Village neighborhood through which they run, Alphabet City.
The street was created by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, as one of 16 north–south streets specified as 100 feet (30 m) in width; they include 12 numbered avenues, and four (located east of First Avenue) designated by letter. [2]
The M14D SBS is the primary server of the Avenue D/Columbia Street corridor, running south of East 10th Street either to Houston Street (southbound) or from Delancey Street (northbound); the latter is shared with the westbound M21 bus until Houston Street. Both routes serve the Baruch Houses. [3]
