Riverside Main Street is the street that the Survivors cross during the fourth chapter of the "Death Toll" campaign in Left 4 Dead.
History[]
Main Street of Riverside
Once the heart of Riverside, this street features iconic 19th-century American architecture with selectively modernized street frontages. Riverside Main Street contains about 20 different buildings and shops filled with a typical retail-commercial mix of small office buildings, Fine Antiques, a movie theater, a barber shop, Military Surplus store, 1st Bank and Trust (Established in 1918), A & C Bookstore, bakery and a diner. It serves as the main point for all citizens living in Riverside as an entertainment meeting area as well as a tourist area for Riverside's many sites and attractions.
Current Status[]
Once the military took control of the town, they tried to defend it as best as they can by barricading streets and setting the small outposts up. Hearing that the Infection was heading in closer and closer to the town, they evidently used combat engineers to tear the road up halfway along its length to form a defensible berm backed by a minigun. However, the Infected took over the town and one of the last stands against the Infected was on the Main Street, but with the Horde attacking from both directions on the street, they were easily overrun.

The Survivors find one street leading to the Main Street, but it's barricaded, forcing them to circle around and come out onto the street through a small office building. To proceed onward, they must use a forklift to lower a concrete slab and form a walkway that allows them to continue on. However, lowering the forklift's lifting mechanism fails and drops the slab, and the vibrations set off a nearby car's alarm, summoning the Horde. Once they finish fighting the Horde, the team continues on past the barrier and back down onto the street, then down a back alley leading to a safe room near Riverside Park.
