Roosevelt Road (Taipei)

Roosevelt Road (Chinese: 羅斯福路; pinyin: Luósīfú Lù) is a north–south avenue and part of Provincial Highway 9 in Taipei, Taiwan, connecting Zhongzheng District, Daan District and Wenshan District with Xindian District, New Taipei City in the south of the Taipei metropolitan area. It was named after U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, making it the only street named for a Western figure in Taipei, excluding the former MacArthur Thruway. The road was built along the route of the old TRA Hsintien line, which closed in 1965.
