康涅狄格大道

康涅狄格大道（Connecticut Avenue）是华盛顿哥伦比亚特区西北区和马里兰州蒙哥马利县的一条主要干道。它是从白宫辐射的对角线大道之一，佛罗里达大道以南路段是朗方规划中最初设计的街道之一。L'Enfant identified himself as "Peter Charles L'Enfant" during most of his life, while residing in the United States. He wrote this name on his "Plan of the city intended for the permanent seat of the government of t(he) United States ...."  (Washington, D.C.) and on other legal documents. However, during the early 1900s, a French ambassador to the U.S., Jean Jules Jusserand, popularized the use of L'Enfant's birth name, "Pierre Charles L'Enfant". (Reference: Bowling, Kenneth R (2002). Peter Charles L'Enfant: vision, honor, and male friendship in the early American Republic. George Washington University, Washington, D.C. ISBN 978-0-9727611-0-9). The United States Code states in 40 U.S.C. 3309: "(a) In General.—The purposes of this chapter shall be carried out in the District of Columbia as nearly as may be practicable in harmony with the plan of Peter Charles L'Enfant." The National Park Service identifies L'Enfant as Major Peter Charles L'Enfant  and as  Major Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant  on its website.

康涅狄格大道开始于白宫以北的拉斐特广场。在法拉格特广场和K街以北，康涅狄格大道是下城的主要街道之一，有高档餐厅，历史建筑，旅馆和购物中心。

国家动物园坐落在康涅狄格大道。
