not certain, but hasn't Massachusetts Ave always existed? it was named in honour of the State after the Hfx Explosion. QED the Robie St Extension may be the former name, but it is not the only former name.

I'm fairly certain that the name Massachusetts Avenue was a fairly recent innovation. You're correct that the name Massachusetts Avenue was chosen in commemoration of the aid provided by the State in the aftermath of the 1917 explosion. But as far as I remember, the new name was chosen very recently, and Robie Street Extension was the freeway's only official designation prior to the renaming in 2007.142.68.133.205 (talk) 22:01, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
