Explanation:

Step1: Recall Parallel Transitivity

If two lines are parallel to the same line, they are parallel to each other. So Main $\parallel$ Park and Park $\parallel$ Elm implies Main $\parallel$ Elm.

Step2: Recall Perpendicular to Parallel Line

If a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, it is perpendicular to the other. Since Elm $\perp$ Willow and Main $\parallel$ Elm, Willow $\perp$ Main.

Answer:

Willow is perpendicular to Main Street.
