Howe Ave
"Perhaps the most useful street in Sacramento"
As a Sacramento State University student, I was constantly using Howe Avenue both for commuting to and from school and work, as well as for running errands and visiting friends in the various apartment complexes along Howe.
Howe Ave. is a four lane expressway-type street for most of it's distance from Folsom Boulevard at it's southern end to Highway 80 at it's northern end, although it does get a little smaller and slower as you travel north past the Arden Fair neighborhood.
Most people have a positive opinion of Howe Ave. in respect to it's usefulness as a shopping artery, and a place with lots of high-density housing options.
Howe Avenue's only drawback is the amount of traffic that it holds during commute hours. The lights along Howe are long and tedious to wade through when the traffic is heavy. I wouldn't be happy living along Howe if I had to deal with the traffic every time I left home.
Overall, however, Howe Avenue is a very pleasant street to use for light shopping, a bunch of restaurants, car dealerships at the northern end, and connections to all the other main traffic arteries in north-eastern Sacramento.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to mention the shopping mall. There's a shopping mall (Arden Fair) just west of Howe Ave. on Arden Way. Happy Shopping Y'all.

"A busier street with some relaxing sidelines"
Howe Ave would have to be one of the longest streets in Sacremento. Well maybe not, but it sure does seem that way when you drive along it. Running north to south from the Capital City Freeway, there are are a couple of nice parks along it that are worth visiting.
Bellview park, to the north, is a really nice picnic spot. Great for the kids and parents alike, the park is a little bigger than it first seems from the road.
Further to the south is the streets name sake playground, Howe Park. More of a sports field, it has plenty of space and a nice pond to sit by and enjoy. A worthy destination on those quiet Sunday afternoons.
