Description	A view of Windward Avenue looking East towards the Lagoon. Parked automobiles line the street, some of them double parked. In the foreground, a crowd of people fill the street, some of them seated, looking towards the West (towards the ocean and pier)" A sign at the end of the road reads: Villa City Boating.
Historical Background	Windward Avenue was a busy business district and thoroughfare in Venice, bounded on the East side by the Venice Lagoon and the South Side by Ocean Front Walk and the Venice Pier, and lined with arched colonnades. As argued by Stanton (1973), Venice experienced traffic congestion and parking problems early in the automobile age, as there were very few thoroughfares for automobiles during the canal period in Venice. In 1929, many of the canals were filled in and paved as roads; the Lagoon became the Venice traffic circle at Main Street and Windward Avenue.
