Warden Avenue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warden Avenue is a major north-south road in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.
Warden begins as a two-lane residential street two blocks south of Kingston Road, becoming a 4-lane road when it reaches Danforth Avenue. North beyond the Toronto boundary at Steeles Avenue, the area becomes York Region, where Warden is also called York Regional Road 65. In Georgina, the road becomes Civic Centre Road.
Originally rural, it is now mainly residential along the road, with occasional commercial developments where it meets other major intersections, such as Eglinton Town Centre at Eglinton Avenue and Bridlewood Mall at Finch Avenue; the Ashtonbee campus of Centennial College is also located near the former. Industrial areas are being rezoned between Danforth and Eglinton, which were initially developed as World War II munitions plants.
[edit] Name
Warden Avenue is named after Warden House found on Warden Avenue in Markham, Ontario. It is the north-south lot division of lots 31 and 32, of the former Township of Scarbrough, and was surveyed in 1865.
[edit] Public transit
