Roads in Ontario

Eglinton Avenue is a major east-west arterial thoroughfare in Toronto and Mississauga, in the Canadian province of Ontario. Within Toronto, Eglinton Avenue is the only road which crosses through all six former municipalities. The road begins at 6th Line in Milton as Lower Baseline, becomes Eglinton Avenue as it crosses into Mississauga, then crosses through Toronto to end at Kingston Road. The section between the Etobicoke Creek and Renforth Drive forms the city limits of Toronto and Mississauga.

The Toronto section was surveyed in the 19th Century as the 4th Concession Road in relations to Lakeshore Road (Queen Street). It was historically known as Richview Sideroad in Etobicoke, Lower Baseline in Mississauga, and Highway 5A (later Highway 109) in Scarborough.

Eglinton Avenue runs through a number of neighbourhoods and is residential, for the most part, though it becomes a major commercial area from Allen Road to Don Mills Road. The Eglinton West area, which stretches from Oakwood–Vaughan to Keele Street, is home to a number of Caribbean and West Indian stores.
