La siguiente es una lista de las arterias arteriales este-oeste en Toronto , Ontario, Canadá. La ciudad está organizada en un patrón de cuadrícula que se remonta al plan trazado por Augustus Jones entre 1793 y 1797. La mayoría de las calles están alineadas en dirección norte-sur o este-oeste, sobre la base de la costa del lago Ontario . En otras palabras, las carreteras principales de norte a sur son generalmente perpendiculares a la costa del lago Ontario y las carreteras principales de este a oeste son generalmente paralelas a la costa del lago. El sistema de carreteras de Toronto también está influenciado por su topografía, ya que algunas carreteras están alineadas con la antigua costa del lago Iroquois o los valles profundos.. Las calles menores con historia o etimología documentada se enumeran en una sección separada .
Las carreteras se enumeran de sur a norte.

La autopista Frederick G. Gardiner , conocida localmente como " la Gardiner ", es una autopista que conecta el centro de la ciudad con los suburbios del oeste. Corriendo cerca de la orilla del lago Ontario , ahora se extiende desde el cruce de la autopista 427 y Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) en el oeste hasta el pie de Don Valley Parkway en el este, pasando la desembocadura del río Don . Al este de la calle Dufferin , la calzada es elevada y pasa por encima de Lake Shore Boulevard al este de la calle Bathurst. Las secciones elevadas al este del río Don fueron demolidas e integradas en Lake Shore Boulevard.
La carretera lleva el nombre del primer presidente del ahora desaparecido Metropolitan Toronto Council, Frederick G. Gardiner . La sección de seis carriles al este del río Humber fue construida en segmentos desde 1955 hasta 1964 por el gobierno metropolitano de Toronto con fondos provinciales de carreteras. La sección de diez carriles al oeste del río Humber antes formaba parte del QEW y ahora es propiedad y está operada por el gobierno municipal de Toronto .
Cuando se construyó el Gardiner, pasó por terrenos industriales, ahora en su mayoría convertidos en terrenos residenciales. Se hicieron necesarias reparaciones extensas a principios de la década de 1990 y, desde entonces, el Gardiner ha sido objeto de varias propuestas para demolerlo o trasladarlo bajo tierra como parte de los esfuerzos de revitalización de la zona ribereña del centro de la ciudad. Una sección elevada al este del río Don fue demolida en 2001, y se está realizando un estudio para demoler esa parte de la sección elevada al este de Jarvis Street hasta el río Don.
Carretera 401
Carretera del rey 401 | |
---|---|
Localización | Renforth Road - Rouge River (continúa al este y al oeste a través del sur de Ontario) |
King's Highway 401 , conocida coloquialmente como el cuatro-oh-uno , se inauguró entre diciembre de 1947 y agosto de 1956, y en ese momento se conocía como el Bypass de Toronto . Aunque desde entonces ha estado envuelto por el desarrollo suburbano, todavía sirve como la ruta principal de este a oeste a través de Toronto y la región circundante. Al este de Don Valley Parkway, también se la conoce como la Autopista de los Héroes , en referencia a las procesiones fúnebres que viajan entre CFB Trenton y la Oficina Forense de Ontario en el centro de Toronto. La autopista 401 cruza la totalidad de Toronto y divide físicamente la ciudad por la mitad. También se conocía anteriormente como la autopista Macdonald-Cartier .
La autopista 401 es la autopista más transitada de América del Norte. [1]
Ontario Highway 409
Ontario Highway 409 o Belfield Expressway se inauguró en 1978 para proporcionar acceso al Aeropuerto Internacional Toronto Pearson desde la autopista 401 en dirección oeste en Islington. La sección al este de la autopista 427 está dentro de Toronto, mientras que las secciones restantes al oeste están dentro de la ciudad de Mississauga. La autopista es mantenida por el Ministerio de Transporte de Ontario y la Autoridad de Aeropuertos del Gran Toronto . El nombre alternativo se toma de la cercana Belfield Road , que comienza en las rampas de salida en dirección oeste de Kipling Avenue.
Vías arteriales
Queens Quay
Queens Quay | |
---|---|
Localización | Stadium Road - Lake Shore Boulevard East (continúa hacia el norte como Parliament Street) |
Largo | 3,6 km [2] (2,2 mi) |
Queens Quay comienza al oeste de Bathurst Street en Stadium Road y termina en Lake Shore Boulevard East, donde continúa hacia el norte como Parliament Street . [3] El lecho de la carretera está construido completamente sobre relleno y es la carretera más cercana al lago Ontario en todo el centro de la ciudad. Aunque alguna vez estuvo colindante con usos industriales y de transporte de un extremo a otro, gran parte de su longitud ahora está alineada con usos recreativos y residenciales. La línea de tranvía 509 Harbourfront ahora viaja en un derecho de paso exclusivo de tranvía en la mediana desde Bay Street hasta Bathurst Street . La longitud al este de Yonge conserva algunos usos industriales, aunque esto está cambiando con el desarrollo de usos residenciales y comerciales.
En 2015, Waterfront Toronto anunció sus planes para convertir Queens Quay en un gran bulevar frente al lago colocando carriles de tranvía en el centro, tráfico solo en el lado norte y un espacio centrado en bicicletas y peatones en el lado sur. El plan reduce el número de carriles de tráfico en Queens Quay a dos, en el lado norte de las vías del tranvía. Además, el plan exige el embellecimiento y la extensión de la línea de tranvía Harbourfront a lo largo de Queens Quay East entre las calles Yonge y Cherry. [4] El recién modificado Queen's Quay se completó en 2015 desde Bathurst hasta Bay Street.
Bulevar de la orilla del lago

![](http://wikiimg.tojsiabtv.com/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Toronto_-_ON_-_Lake_Shore_Blvd.jpg/440px-Toronto_-_ON_-_Lake_Shore_Blvd.jpg)
Lake Shore Boulevard , a menudo mal escrito como Lakeshore Boulevard , se llama así debido a su curso a lo largo de la costa del lago Ontario . Aunque la ruta al oeste del río Humber existe desde hace más de un siglo, gran parte del resto de la ruta se creó durante los proyectos masivos de recuperación de la costa llevados a cabo por la Comisión del Puerto entre 1900 y 1915. Lake Shore Road viajó tan al este como Roncesvalles , donde conectaba con Queen Street. Incorporando varias calles laterales como Laburnam Avenue, Starr Avenue y Dominion Street, la ruta fue empujada hacia el este hasta Bathurst Street el 28 de enero de 1924. [5] Desde allí, continuó como Fleet Street hasta Cherry Street. Keating Street continuó hacia el este desde un punto justo al sur de esa intersección hasta Woodbine Avenue. Estas dos calles fueron reconstruidas para formar una calzada continua y renombradas como parte de Lake Shore Road el 25 de agosto de 1959. [6]
Mill Street
Mill Street va desde Parliament Street hasta Bayview Avenue. Ahora asociada con el patrimonio Distillery District , Corktown, Toronto y Mill Street Brewery , la carretera recibió su nombre en referencia a Toronto Rolling Mills , una planta ferroviaria fundada por Sir Casimir Gzowski en 1857 que una vez estuvo ubicada en Rolling Mills Road (una vez llamada East Street y luego Water Street) hasta 1874 y demolido para su uso como estación ferroviaria de Grand Trunk Railway (ahora utilizada por GO Transit ). [7]
Calle delantera

Localización | Calle Bathurst - Avenida Bayview |
Largo | 3,8 km [8] (2,4 mi) |
Front Street se llama así porque estaba frente a la costa del lago Ontario en el momento del diseño original de York. La primera calle se llamó Palace Street . En los primeros años del siglo XX, la Comisión del Puerto de Toronto revitalizó el estancado frente marítimo industrial. En gran parte como resultado de este proceso, la costa se llenó varios cientos de metros al sur hasta Queens Quay.
Front Street comienza en Bathurst Street y atraviesa el centro de Toronto al norte del viaducto ferroviario. La carretera pasa por el Metro Toronto Convention Centre , la CN Tower y la Union Station antes de obligar a los conductores a entrar en Eastern Avenue. Una sección de calle lateral corta se bifurca en el desvío y continúa hacia el este hasta Bayview Avenue . [3]
Wellington Street
Wellington Street | |
---|---|
Localización | Strachan Avenue - al este de Leader Lane |
Largo | 3,3 km (2,1 mi) |
Wellington Street es una calle de sentido único en dirección oeste al norte de Front Street. Wellington Street comienza en Leader Lane y atraviesa el centro de Toronto , pasa por el distrito financiero y termina en Strachan Avenue, luego continúa como Douro Street (una vez que el nombre de la sección enemiga de Bathurst a Strachan) Wellington está cortado en Clarence Square y los vehículos no pueden conectarse con el este u oeste de Spadina Avenue . Wellington Street probablemente lleva el nombre de Arthur Wellesley, primer duque de Wellington . En los mapas de los primeros años de York, la calle se llamaba Market Street en referencia a la calle al sur de Market Square .
La calle pasa por una serie de pequeñas parcelas urbanas:
- Berczy Park (llamado así por William Berczy )
- Pecaut Square - anteriormente Metro Square y el nombre de David Pecaut
- Plaza Clarence
- Victoria Memorial Square
La ruta del tranvía 503 Kingston Rd tiene vías dobles entre Church Street y York Street.

Localización | Trinity Street - Queen Street (continúa al oeste como Front Street al este como Kingston Road) |
Eastern Avenue , anteriormente South Park Street, recibió su nombre el 27 de noviembre de 1876. [9] Se conectó con Kingston Road en 1998 tras la eliminación del antiguo Woodbine Racetrack . [10] Eastern Avenue comienza en una curva a lo largo de Front Street al este de Parliament Street; El tráfico en dirección este en Front está predeterminado en Eastern Avenue, y viceversa para el tráfico en dirección oeste en Eastern. La carretera cruza el río Don , se fusiona con Richmond Street y Adelaide Street y proporciona acceso a Don Valley Parkway . Al este de Broadview Avenue, viaja paralelamente y tres cuadras al sur de Queen Street East a lo largo de la alineación de King Street al este de Coxwell Avenue, donde se curva hacia el norte y se encuentra con Queen Street. Al norte de Queen Street, la carretera se convierte en Kingston Road. [3]
Calle rey
Calle rey | |

Localización | Avenida Roncesvalles - Don River (continúa hacia el oeste como The Queensway hacia el este como Queen Street East) |
King Street fue nombrada en honor al rey Jorge III por John Graves Simcoe cuando se trazó en el plan original de York en 1793. Ha tenido varios nombres a lo largo de los años. [11] [12] La calle viaja hacia el este desde The Queensway, dividiéndose hacia el sureste en Queen Street West y Roncesvalles Avenue , hasta el río Don, donde termina en Queen Street East. La sección central de King Street tiene un centro comercial llamado King Street Transit Priority Corridor para dar cabida a las rutas de tranvía a lo largo de King Street.
Adelaide Street
Adelaide Street | |

Localización | Shaw Street - Don River (comienza en Eastern Avenue) |
La calle Adelaide recibió el nombre de la princesa Adelaida de Sajonia-Meiningen (esposa del rey Guillermo IV ) por Peter Russell , segundo teniente gobernador del Alto Canadá , en su plan de Toronto de 1797. La sección original de Adelaide era solo una parte de la calle actual. En 1844, Little Adelaide Street, Adelaide Street y Newgate Street se fusionaron para formar Adelaide Street. [13] La calle se dividió en secciones este y oeste en 1884. [14] En 1926, a pedido de los propietarios, Adelaide Street West se extendió desde Bathurst Street hasta Shaw Street, incorporando la totalidad de Defoe Street y McDonnell Square. [15] La ampliación más reciente se produjo en 1965, cuando Adelaide Street East se encaminó hacia Duke Street, que cruzaba entre Jarvis Street y Parliament Street. [16] Esto se hizo antes de la apertura de la sección inferior de Don Valley Parkway y la sección este de Gardiner Expressway. Las calles Newgate y Duke se fusionaron en Adelaide Street East. Entre la rampa de Eastern Avenue y Bathurst Street, Adelaide Street sirve como miembro en dirección este de un par de sentido único , junto con Richmond Street como miembro en dirección oeste.
Richmond Street
Richmond Street | |
---|---|
Localización | Strachan Avenue - Don River (continúa hacia el este como Eastern Avenue) |
Richmond Street lleva el nombre de Charles Lennox, cuarto duque de Richmond . Lennox llegó a Canadá en 1818 como gobernador en jefe de la Norteamérica británica y murió un año después después de ser mordido por un zorro rabioso mientras recorría el campo. [17] Richmond Street absorbió Duchess Street y se convirtió en un camino de un solo sentido en 1958 como parte de un proceso para construir rampas a Eastern Avenue y Don Valley Parkway. [18] Richmond Street es una calle de sentido único en dirección oeste desde Yonge Street hasta Strachan Avenue, y es de sentido único en dirección este desde Niagara Street hasta Bathurst Street. Sirve como el miembro en dirección oeste de un par de sentido único , junto con Adelaide Street como su contraparte en dirección este. Entre su término occidental en Strachan Avenue y Bathurst Street, la calle es unidireccional, alternando direcciones dos veces. [3] La calle que va desde el este de Yonge a York Street alguna vez se llamó Hospital Street .

Queen Street
Queen Street | |
---|---|
Localización | Avenida Roncesvalles - Fallingbrook Road (continúa hacia el oeste como The Queensway) |
Queen Street , conocida como Lot Street hasta 1844, fue nombrada en honor a la Reina Victoria, quien reinó desde 1837 hasta su muerte en 1901. Durante un tiempo, Lot Street sirvió como límite norte de York. En el lado norte de la calle, se otorgaron grandes lotes de parques de 80 hectáreas (200 acres) a leales y funcionarios gubernamentales, muchos de los cuales nunca visitaron el Alto Canadá durante sus vidas. [19] La parte central de Lot Street fue construida como la línea de base para los estudios a lo largo de Yonge Street por los Queen's Rangers en 1793 como la primera carretera de concesión . Más tarde se extendió hacia el oeste hasta Ossington Avenue como parte de Governor's Road (Dundas Street). [20]
Queen Street comienza en una intersección con The Queensway, Roncesvalles Avenue y King Street y cruza Parkdale , Fashion District , el centro de Toronto , Riverdale , Leslieville , East Toronto y The Beaches , terminando al este de Victoria Park Avenue en una calle residencial llamada Fallingbrook Road en Scarborough. Aparte de las tres cuadras más al este desde Neville Park Boulevard hasta Fallingbrook Road, la totalidad de la calle es servida por la ruta del tranvía 501 Queen . [21]
Calle Dundas
Calle Dundas | |
---|---|
Localización | Etobicoke Creek - Kingston Road (continúa hacia el oeste hacia Mississauga) |
Dundas Street fue nombrada por John Graves Simcoe en honor al Honorable Henry Dundas, primer vizconde de Melville . Al igual que la calle Yonge, nombrada en un ejemplo similar de amiguismo , la calle Dundas se creó como una calle defensiva. Simcoe temía la inminente invasión de los estadounidenses después de la Guerra Revolucionaria , un evento que ocurriría en 1812 . Dundas Street iba a conectar York con Detroit , entonces un asentamiento británico; llegó hasta Londres, la nueva capital propuesta por Simcoe. La calle fue construida por los Queen's Rangers entre Dundas y el río Támesis en 1794, y luego se extendió hacia el este hasta York por el pionero constructor de carreteras Asa Danforth en 1797.
Dundas Street solía comenzar en la actual intersección de Queen Street West y Ossington Avenue. Viajó hacia el norte a lo largo de Ossington, luego giró hacia el oeste en Garrison Creek a lo largo de la actual Dundas Street. En la década de 1920, Dundas se extendió hacia el este a través del centro de Toronto hasta Broadview Avenue a lo largo de varias calles existentes pero discontinuas, que comprenden Arthur Street (Ossington a Bathurst), St. Patrick (Bathurst a McCaul), Anderson (McCaul a University), Agnes (University a Bathurst). Yonge), Crookshank (Yonge a Victoria, ahora separada y conocida como Dundas Square ) y Wilton Avenue (Victoria a Broadview). Esto se hizo corrigiendo varias irregularidades, o "trotes", entre las calles. Estos trotes son evidentes al este de Bathurst Street y Yonge Street. [22] [23]
En medio de las protestas por la muerte de George Floyd en 2020, más de 10.000 personas han firmado una petición pidiendo a la ciudad que cambie el nombre de Dundas Street "debido a la participación de su homónimo en oponerse a la abolición de la esclavitud en el Imperio Británico en el siglo XVIII". [24] [25] [26]
Calle Gerrard
Calle Gerrard | |
---|---|
Localización | University Avenue - Clonmore Drive |
Gerrard Street se estableció el 6 de enero de 1875 al incorporar Don Street y Lake View Avenue . Lleva el nombre del empresario irlandés Samuel Gerrard, amigo personal del Honorable John McGill. El puente sobre el río Don se completó y abrió el 16 de diciembre de 1923. [27]
Gerrard Street comienza en University Avenue en Discovery District , rodeada por el Princess Margaret Cancer Center , el Mount Sinai Hospital , el Toronto General Hospital y el Hospital for Sick Children . Viaja hacia el oeste a través del centro de Toronto , pasa la Universidad Ryerson y Regent Park antes de cruzar el río Don en el viaducto de Gerrard Street, construido entre 1922 y 1924. La carretera continúa por East Chinatown y Gerrard India Bazaar (también conocido como Little India). En Coxwell Avenue, la carretera se desvía una cuadra hacia el norte; Esta división ha llevado a que las distintas partes se etiqueten como Gerrard Superior e Inferior. Gerrard Street termina en Clonmore Avenue, al oeste de Warden Avenue; el tráfico se ve obligado a entrar en Clonmore Avenue, donde puede viajar hasta Birchmount Road.
Calle Carlton
Calle Carlton | |
---|---|
Localización | Yonge Street - Riverdale Park (continúa hacia el oeste como College Street) |
Carlton Street was named by Ann Wood, wife of both Andrew Ryan McGill and then John Strachan, after her brother, Guy Carleton Wood, who was in turn named after Guy Carleton; it is unknown when the "e" was dropped from the spelling.[28] In 1930, as part of a depression relief program, Carlton Street was realigned east of Yonge Street in order to meet with College Street. The realignment can be seen at the site of the Richard R. Horkins building (the one-time head office of the Toronto Hydro at 14 Carlton Street), where Carlton Street (heading west) suddenly angles in a north-westerly direction to meet Yonge Street. Prior to that, Carlton met Yonge Street south of the present intersection by several dozen metres. The completed intersection was opened in early June 1931.[29]
Carlton Street is home to Maple Leaf Gardens; Toronto Maple Leafs mascot, Carlton the Bear, is named after this street. It extends from Yonge Street east to Parliament Street as a major thoroughfare. After a sharp jog north at Parliament, Carlton continues east of Parliament as a residential street, ending at the edge of Riverdale Park.[3]
The street is also home to several of the city's Franco-Ontarian cultural institutions, including the Sacré-Cœur church and the Collège Français high school, while the head office of TFO is located in the College Park complex at the intersection of Yonge Street with Carlton's westerly continuation as College Street.[30] In recent years, several of these institutions have collaborated with the Francophone Assembly of Ontario on a proposal to have the area formally designated as the city's "French Quarter".[30]
The 506 Carlton streetcar line is named for the street, even though this is only a small part of its route.
College Street
College Street | |
---|---|
Location | Dundas Street West – Yonge Street (continues east as Carlton Street) |
College Street shares its origins with University Avenue as one of the two private entrances to King's College opened in 1829. King's College was the first college in Canada when it was chartered by Henry, 3rd Earl of Bathurst two years earlier. The road began at a gatehouse at Yonge Street and progressed westward to present-day University Avenue. Like University Avenue, College Street was surrounded by gates in an attempt to create an elegant driveway like those in Oxford and Cambridge.[31]
Little Italy and the northern edges of Kensington Market and Chinatown are along College Street.
Wellesley Street
Wellesley Street | |
---|---|
Location | Queen's Park Crescent – Wellesley Park |
Wellesley Street is named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, who is best known for his victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, and for a short and unpopular tenure as Prime Minister of Britain between 1828 and 1830.[32]
Wellesley Street begins at the entrance to the University of Toronto at Queen's Park Crescent. The road passes immediately north of the Ontario Legislative Building, bisecting Queen's Park and separating the legislative building from the greenspace portion of the park. Wellesley station, a stop on Line 1 Yonge–University of the city's subway system, is located just east of the corner of Wellesley with Yonge Street. East of Yonge Street, Wellesley serves as one of the defining streets of the Church and Wellesley district, the city's primary gay village. Further east past Sherbourne, the street marks the boundary between the St. James Town and Cabbagetown neighbourhoods.
The road's status as a significant arterial thoroughfare ends at Parliament Street, although it continues as a residential street for a further half-kilometre before ending at Wellesley Park overlooking the Don Valley.

---|---|
Location | Etobicoke Creek – Prince Edward Viaduct (continues east of viaduct as Danforth Avenue and west into Mississauga) |
Bloor Street was named by 1855 after Joseph Bloore.[note 1][34] It was surveyed as the first concession road north of the baseline (now Queen Street). It has been known by many names, including the Tollgate Road (as the first tollgate on Yonge north of Lot Street was constructed there in 1820),[35] then St. Paul's Road (after the nearby church, constructed 1842), and possibly Sydenham Road (after Lord Sydenham, Governor General 1839–1841).[note 2][36][37][38][39] Although Bloore had an "e" at the end of his surname, Bloor Street was never spelled with it, as evidenced on numerous maps produced before his death.[40]
Canada's most expensive shopping district is located on the Mink Mile section of Bloor Street.
Danforth Avenue
Danforth Avenue | |

Location | Prince Edward Viaduct – Kingston Road (continues west of viaduct as Bloor Street East) |
Length | 9.1 km[41] (5.7 mi) |
Danforth Avenue, known as the Don and Danforth Road until 1871, takes its name from pioneer road builder Asa Danforth, who built the Governors Road and Danforth Road by the end of the 18th century, under the direction of surveyor general Augustus Jones. Danforth Avenue, however, was constructed in 1851 by the Don and Danforth Plank Road Company, connecting the Don Mills Road (now Broadview Avenue north of Danforth Avenue) with the Danforth Road.[42] The road was extended east to Kingston Road (formerly Highway 2) in 1935, which included the construction of the present interchange.
Danforth Avenue was the site of a mass shooting that took place on July 22, 2018.

These include Wells and Wells Hill.[44] Dupont Street begins at Dundas Street as a continuation of Annette Street. It runs parallel to (though with a few jogs) and south of the CPR Midtown tracks east to Avenue Road. The Galleria Mall, located on the southwest corner of Dupont Street and Dufferin Street, was the only enclosed shopping centre located on Dupont Street, as well as in Old Toronto west of Avenue Road and north of Bloor Street/Danforth Avenue.[3] However, the mall was permanently closed in late 2019 and demolished for redevelopment. Dupont station serves this street at Spadina Road.
Davenport Road
Davenport Road | |
---|---|
Location | Old Weston Road – Yonge Street (continues east as Church Street west as Old Weston Road) |
Length | 6.4 km[45] (4.0 mi) |
Davenport Road takes its name from the Davenport House, the first estate atop the Lake Iroquois shoreline and home of Colonel Joseph Wells, father of George Dupont Wells. The estate stood northeast of the modern Bathurst Street and Davenport Road intersection. Wells purchased the property from Adjutant John McGill in 1821 and rebuilt the house that occupied it. McGill built the original house in 1797 and supposedly named it after Major Davenport, who was stationed at Fort York at that time.[46]
Davenport Road follows a native trail named "Gete-Onigaming" in Ojibwe along the foot of the escarpment of the old Lake Iroquois shoreline.[47][48] The section east of Bathurst Street was formerly a part of Vaughan Road. It runs from Yonge Street to Old Weston Road.
Burnhamthorpe Road
Burnhamthorpe Road | |
---|---|
Location | Etobicoke Creek – Dundas Street West (continues southeast as Cordova Avenue and west into Mississauga) |
Burnhamthorpe Road is named after a village in Mississauga, which in turn was named by settler John Abelson for his home Burnham Thorpe, England.[49] The street only runs for a short distance in Toronto, where it begins at Dundas Street, but it becomes one of the main arterial roads across the City of Mississauga to the west before reaching its western terminus just west of, and after breaking at, Sixteen Mile Creek in Oakville. The street was originally called Mono Sixth Line Road.
O'Connor Drive
O'Connor Drive | |
---|---|
Location | Broadview Avenue – Victoria Park Avenue (continues east as Eglinton Square then Eglinton Avenue East south as Broadview Avenue) |
O'Connor Drive takes its name from Senator Frank Patrick O'Connor, who owned Maryvale farm in Scarborough Township. In 1913, O'Connor opened the Laura Secord Candy Shop on Yonge Street named after War of 1812 heroine Laura Secord, which has since become a national chain.[50] O'Connor Drive begins at the northern terminus of Broadview Avenue and progresses east to Woodbine Avenue, where it turns to the northeast and continues to Eglinton Avenue.[3] The first several kilometres were originally part of the Don Mills Road until 1922. The section from Glenwood Crescent to Woodbine Avenue crosses over Taylor-Massey Creek. The 246-metre (807 ft) bridge was completed in 1931 by R. H. McGregor Construction Company and Margison and Babcock Engineers.[51]
Rathburn Road
Rathburn Road | |
---|---|
Location | Etobicoke Creek – Islington Avenue (does not cross Etobicoke Creek, but resumes in Mississauga). |
Rathburn Road is a street in Etobicoke and Mississauga, which roughly parallels Burnhamthorpe Road to its north between the Credit River and Islington Avenue, breaking at the Etobicoke Creek, which divides the two cities. Its street name was acquired in 1954 to avoid name duplication and before known as Rosethorn Road.[52]
St. Clair Avenue
St. Clair Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Scarlett Road – Kingston Road (interrupted by Don Valley) |
St. Clair Avenue, once the Third Concession, crosses through a majority of the city. The road is separated into two sections by the Don Valley. The western segment begins east of the Humber River at Scarlett Road in the former city of York, where it is angled and does not follow the concession line as a result of road realignments for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway crossing in 1912.[53] From there, it proceeds east past Runnymede Road, where it enters Old Toronto. After that, it continues to run past the Vale of Avoca to east of Mount Pleasant Road, but stops short of the Don valley. On the opposite side, it begins near O'Connor Drive and continues along the same alignment to Kingston Road.[3] St. Clair Avenue takes its name from Augustine St. Clare, a character from the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.[54]
Davisville Avenue
Davisville Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Yonge Street – Bayview Avenue (continues west as Chaplin Crescent) |
Length | 1.9 km[3] (1.2 mi) |
Davisville Avenue is named after John Davis, who opened Davis Pottery at Yonge and Davisville in 1845. Davis Pottery became nationally renowned; Davis used the newfound fortune to build schools and churches, and became the first postmaster of the growing village.
Davisville Avenue was built in the early 20th century as one of several roads connecting Yonge Street with the planned town of Leaside. It begins as a continuation of Chaplin Crescent at Yonge Street and proceeds 2 km (1.2 mi) eastwards to Bayview Avenue.[3]
Millwood Road

Location | Yonge Street – Leaside Bridge (continues south of viaduct as Pape Avenue and Donlands Avenue) |
Millwood Road is one block north of Davisville Avenue, but passes Bayview Avenue into Leaside.
Rogers Road
Rogers Road | |
---|---|
Location | Weston Road – Oakwood Avenue |
Rogers Road is named after Stephen Rogers, who immigrated from Teignmouth, Devon and built one of the first houses in the Oakwood area in 1876 at the present corners of Rogers Road and Oakwood Avenue.[55] It was constructed in the 1920s to serve Prospect Cemetery. The road crosses between Weston Road (incorporating a former section of Old Weston Road) and Oakwood Avenue along the southern boundary of the former city of York. It had its own streetcar line, which was later replaced by a trolley bus line, in turn later replaced by the route 161 Rogers Road bus.
Eglinton Avenue
Eglinton Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Etobicoke Creek – Kingston Road (continues west into Mississauga) |
Eglinton Avenue, once the Fourth Concession, takes its name from the village that was established at its intersection with Yonge Street. There are several possible origins of the name, all of which lead back to the Earl of Eglinton. Several Scottish veterans of the War of 1812 settled in the area, possibly naming it after their Earl of Eglinton, Hugh Montgomerie. Hugh's successor, Archibald William Montgomerie, was famous for a lavish tournament held at his Eglinton Castle in 1839. For two years prior to the formation of Metropolitan Toronto, the section of Eglinton Avenue through Scarborough was known as Highway 109.
Eglinton Avenue is the only road in Toronto to cross all six former municipalities. It begins in Mississauga and travels east through Richview, Mount Dennis, Eglinton West, North Toronto, Leaside, the Golden Mile, Brimley and Scarborough Village before ending at Kingston Road. The majority of Eglinton Avenue is abutted by commercial strip plazas, auto dealerships, and dense apartment blocks, though almost every zoning condition presents itself along the road.[3] The route is heavily congested, which will be addressed by Line 5 Eglinton, an LRT line with a substantial underground section that is scheduled to open in 2022.
Old Eglinton Avenue west of Bermondsey Road was the result of re-alignment of the road to connections section of Eglinton that is further north than the eastern section.
Roselawn Avenue

Lawrence Avenue
Lawrence Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Royal York Road – Rouge Hills Drive (continues west as The Westway) |
Lawrence Avenue is named after the Lawrence family, who immigrated from Yorkshire in 1829 and bought property on the east side of Yonge Street north of the Fourth Concession Road. Peter Lawrence, who served as Justice of the Peace for the village of Eglinton beginning in 1836, purchased the farm. Jacob Lawrence established a mill at Bayview Avenue in 1845. The property was sold in 1907 to Wilfred Dinnick, who developed a garden suburb that he named Lawrence Park in honour of the family.[57] The road remained a sod road until the 1920s before being developed as part of the development.[58]
Lawrence Avenue begins in the west at Royal York Road. West of there, the road continues as The Westway, a windy collector road that ends at Martin Grove Road constructed post-World War II to serve the growing Willowridge-Martingrove-Richview to the south and the Kingsview Village to the north. In the east, it was the survey baseline or first concession road from Victoria Park Avenue east to the end near the Rouge River, east of Port Union.
Lawrence Avenue East is interrupted at Bayview Avenue, by the west branch of the Don River and by York University's Glendon Campus. A detour north on Bayview leads to Post Road, and a connection back to Lawrence Avenue on the east side of the valley. This detour runs through The Bridle Path, one of Toronto's most affluent neighbourhoods. East of Leslie Street, Lawrence becomes an arterial road, passing through Don Mills. In the East Don Valley is the Lawrence Avenue exit of the Don Valley Parkway. From there, Lawrence Avenue continues as a six-lane road through most of Scarborough, with many strip malls flanking its sides. The segment east of Morningside Avenue is primarily residential. The road ends at Rouge Hills Drive at the entrance to Rouge Park near the mouth of the Rouge River.[3]
Dixon Road
Dixon Road | |
---|---|
Location | ![]() (continues south as Scarlett Road northwest as Airport Road) |
Dixon Road was named after the Dixon family and previously called Malton Road.[59] George and Thomas Dixon constructed sawmills on their properties abutting the road in 1818 and 1823, respectively.[60] Dixon begins at Highway 427 and travels eastward toward the former borough of York, becoming Scarlett Road. Dixon Road continues west of Highway 427 as Airport Road (Peel Regional Road 7), named after the Toronto Pearson International Airport, continuing to the community of Stayner in Clearview in Simcoe County. The stretch between Highway 427 and Martin Grove Road is often referred to as the "Airport Strip", due to the abundance of major hotel chains serving the airport, including Westin, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hilton, DoubleTree, Crowne Plaza, and Sheraton, as well as the Toronto Congress Centre.
Orfus Road

Location | Caledonia Road – Dufferin Street |
Orfus Road is in the Yorkdale neighbourhood and runs between Caledonia Road and Dufferin Street. It mainly consists of outlet stores (mostly fashion), the Yorkdale Adult Day School and the Rinx entertainment complex.
Ellesmere Road
Ellesmere Road | |
---|---|
Location | Victoria Park Avenue – Kingston Road (continues west as Parkwoods Village Drive, connecting in turn at its west end to York Mills Road) |
Ellesmere Road is named after the village (founded as post office in 1853[61]) that once occupied its intersection with Kennedy Road, which was itself named after the birthplace of the original settlers in Shropshire, England.[62] The road travels through Scarborough, where it was laid as the first concession road (Lawrence Avenue being the baseline in the survey of Scarborough). The surrounding land alternates between single-unit homes and commercial strips, along with industrial parks, throughout its length.[3] The road is also referred to as 2nd Concession Road based on the original survey of the old Township of Scarborough. The street terminates at Kingston Road with one section turning southeast and the other at a dead end stub to the west of Highway 401.
Wilson Avenue
Wilson Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Weston Road – Yonge Street (continues east as York Mills Road west as Albion Road) |
Wilson Avenue is the western continuation of York Mills Road west of Yonge. Before 1973 the two streets did not meet with Wilson ending further west at Yonge Boulevard. From Yonge Boulevard Wilson travels west becoming Walsh Avenue near Kelvin Avenue just east of Weston Road and then continues northwesterly as Albion Road. A short stub at Kelvin Avenue continues west and ends at just west of Nubana Avenue once ending at Weston Road in a former residential area that disappeared in the 1970s when the off ramps for the Highway 401 at Weston Road was rebuilt.
According to historian Mike Filey, Wilson Avenue is a misspelling of Arthur L. Willson, who was a clerk and treasurer of York Township for over twelve years around 1875. Among Arthur Willson's accomplishments were writing a "municipal manual", "which has been found of practical value as a guide to those requiring a knowledge of municipal law", according to a history of the County of York.[63]
York Mills Road
York Mills Road | |
---|---|
Location | Yonge Street – Victoria Park Avenue (continues west as Wilson Avenue) |
York Mills Road meets Yonge Street, the road to York, in Hoggs Hollow. Between 1804 and 1926, many mills flourished in this valley, lending to both the name of the road and neighbourhood.[64] York Mills is an eastward continuation of Wilson Avenue; this continuity did not exist until the opening of the Yonge Subway extension in 1973. It is primarily residential in nature, except near Yonge Street and between Leslie Street and Don Mills Road, which are mostly commercial. The road ends at Victoria Park Avenue; a connection to Ellesmere Road is provided via Parkwoods Village Drive, which redirects traffic as it passes Parkway Village Plaza and south of the remaining section of York Mills Road.[3]
Sheppard Avenue
Sheppard Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Weston Road – Kingston Road (continues south of Kingston Road as Port Union Road) |
Sheppard Avenue, originally the Lansing Sideroad (after the historic hamlet located at the street's intersection with Yonge Street), is named after one of two families that lived adjacent to its intersection with Yonge Street. Tom Shepherd (or Sheppard) opened the Golden Lion Hotel on the southwest corner of the intersection in 1824 and sold it to his son, Charles, in 1856. On the opposing corner, an unrelated pioneer settler named Joseph Shepard built a log cabin in 1802. Joseph and various members of kin played pivotal roles in the establishment of York.[65]
Sheppard Avenue begins at Weston Road, and travels east across North York and Scarborough ( as Scarborough's Third Concession Road) to Meadowvale Road. Shortly thereafter, it turns southeast and ends at Kingston Road, where it becomes Port Union Road. Twyn Rivers Drive continues along the main alignment (as the street's original course), twisting as it descends into the steep valley of the Rouge River into Pickering, where it becomes Sheppard Ave. again at Altona Road, effectively making Sheppard a branched road.
Finch Avenue
Finch Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | ![]() (a small section continues east of Beare Road to Pickering) |
Finch Avenue is named after John Finch, who purchased the Bird-in-the-Hand Inn in 1847.[66] It is residential for most of its length, although portions in North York and Scarborough (as Scarborough's Fourth Concession Road) are heavily industrialized.
In the east, within Malvern, Finch Avenue becomes Morningside Avenue. However, Old Finch Avenue continues along the same right-of-way passing north of the Toronto Zoo and ending at Meadowvale Road. Approximately 800 m (0.50 mi) to the east, another section of Finch Avenue begins and passes into Pickering.
In the west, Finch Avenue continues past Wet'n'Wild Toronto (formerly Wild Water Kingdom) to Steeles Avenue in Brampton.
Finch Avenue developed three sinkholes during the 2000s: one in 2005 during the Toronto Supercell and two in 2009.
Two subway stations are on Finch Avenue: Finch station and Finch West station.
An LRT line, Line 6 Finch West, is under construction.
Cummer Avenue
Cummer Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Yonge Street – Leslie Street (continues east as McNicoll Avenue west as Drewry Avenue) |
Cummer Avenue is named after Jacob Kummer, a German settler who emigrated to Upper Canada in 1797 and built a mill on the Don River in 1819. The road to this mill became associated with the anglicized variation of the family name.[67][68] The road travels east from Yonge as a continuation of Drewry Avenue (which begins at Bathurst Street). At its crossing of the Don River, Cummer curves north, returns to the east and ends at Leslie Street. It continues east as McNicoll Avenue to Tapscott Road in Scarborough.
Steeles Avenue
Steeles Avenue | |
---|---|
Location | Albion Road – Scarborough–Pickering Townline (continues west into Brampton as ![]() ![]() |
Steeles Avenue is a major arterial road in the north end of the city. It is the only road (aside from Highway 401) to pass, uninterrupted, west to east through the entire city; it also continues west to Milton and east into Pickering as Taunton Road.[3] The Scarborough section was also once referred as Scarborough Townline. The Steele family resided at Yonge and Steeles beginning in 1856, when Thomas purchased an inn and named it the Steele's Hotel. Thomas' son, John C. Steele, is known for inventing the Steeles Improved Road Machine, an early grader. Steeles Avenue serves as the boundary line between Toronto and York Region to the north, though the road itself is on the Toronto side of the boundary.[69]
Steeles Avenue was listed by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) as the "worst road in October" for 2006, and as the fifth worst road in 2007. In October 2008, it was again crowned the worst road in Ontario.[70] Reasons include potholes and general quality of the surface. Soon after the results of CAA's survey were made public, some parts of the road between Dufferin Street and Bayview Avenue were resurfaced. The results of the 2009 survey listed Steeles as Ontario's worst road, for the second year in a row.
However, in 2010, Steeles Avenue was resurfaced from Yonge Street to Markham Road, with the funds coming from the federal infrastructure stimulus program, and the CAA named it the "Best Road in Ontario".[71]
