Morningside Avenue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morningside Avenue is a north-south street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the former city of Scarborough.
The street starts at Guildwood Parkway, and Lake Ontario to the south, and travels along the former Lot 10 line northwards through the Highland Creek valley, to Finch Avenue. North of the valley, where the street once ended, it was named "Littles Road" after an early family in the area. Following the development of the Malvern area, Littles Road was renamed into this community.
There are plans to extend through the Brookside and Morningside Heights neighbourhoods to Steeles Avenue and beyond as the Markham Bypass. This would eliminate an infamously low (3.7m or 12'3") narrow one-lane railroad underpass at the northern end dating back to when it was a rural road, where 4 lanes of traffic narrow to 1.
