It is less stressful than 38th during peak traffic periods in the late afternoon.

That makes it a N-S corridor for your purposes (makes sense since Airport goes more N than W in that part of town).
The key here is that Airport doesn't connect to any other major E-W roads until you get down to 38th anyways (and 38th basically ends at Airport).
Again, unless you're just trying to be argumentative for its own sake, it's clear that the E-W corridors that cross I-35 and Airport in that part of town are 2222 and 51st (38th ending at Airport but crossing I-35). 45th is a red herring - the only point is to try to score some kind of 'win'; it's not relevant to the discussion of closing 51st to traffic because most of the people using 51st to get from points east of I-35 would not find it easy to use 45th.
