disambiguation is unnecessary –

There are almost certainly other streets called Lexington Avenue across the world.

Agree with Anthony Appleyard - Jersey City has a Lexington Avenue, for instance, as does Cambridge, MA; Danville, KY; Mount Kisco, NY; Asheville, NC; Gloucester, MA; Toms River, NJ... Lexington doesn't have the general prominence that Park Avenue has, so the disambiguator is appropriate.

Oppose – the street name alone lacks precision. Manhattan removes the ambiguity and provides sufficient precision, but not more than is needed to clearly establish the topic.

Support we disambiguate from uses that are currently sufficiently notable to be on WP, not from uses insufficiently notable to have articles on WP. Disambiguation here is clearly not required, as
Lexington Avenue redirects to this article! Q.E.D. To disambiguate in such obvious cases where [[X]] redirects to [[X (Y)]] opens up a whole Pandora's box of titles to debate, discord, disagreement, and debacle. --

A third agree with me in a situation where many argue the issue is not even about disambiguation (because "city, state" is a common name for a given US city, not a disambiguation). There is no such argument here. --

Support per Zarcadia. A look at the disambiguation page shows that the only articles we have are about this street or subway stations with this street's name in them. None of the other streets are notable enough even for their own pages, let alone to challenge the primariness of this street.

Support; none of the other articles threaten this one for primacy. Topics for which we do not have articles (or even parts of articles) should not even be considered.

Support That
Lexington Avenue already redirects here suggests it's a settled primary topic. --
