Meaning of a sentence

Hi,

I ran into this sentence:

Can it be rephrased this way:

Thanks !

Hi, I ran into this sentence: To get to the scene of police activity from the Seventh Avenue end of West Twelfth Can it be rephrased this way: To get to the scene of police activity from the junction of Seventh Avenue and West Twelfth Yes, except the wording in #2 sounds to me a little bit more precise than the wording in #1. I hear the word 'intersection' much, much more often than 'junction'. ( I'm sure you realize these are not complete sentences.
