University Avenue was an arterial road in west Strathcona, Alberta, Canada. It was formed along the backs of farm lots west of the yet to be incorporated town of Strathcona, causing it to run parallel with the North Saskatchewan River to the north. The farm lots later became the University of Alberta campus, which was established in 1908. After the amalgamation with Edmonton, and as the grid streets expanded, University Avenue was broken up, however most of it still remains as residential streets.
