Lake Shore Boulevard

Lake Shore Boulevard (commonly misspelled Lakeshore Boulevard) is a major arterial road running along most of the waterfront in the Canadian city of Toronto. Prior to 1998, two segments of Lake Shore Boulevard (from the Etobicoke–Mississauga boundary to the Humber River and from the eastern terminus of the Gardiner Expressway to Woodbine Avenue) were designated as part of Highway 2.

Lake Shore Boulevard begins in the west at Etobicoke Creek. It is a direct continuation of Lakeshore Road in Mississauga, which continues west to Hamilton. From here it travels close to, though not always within sight of, Lake Ontario eastward through the city to Ashbridges Bay, where it curves north and becomes Woodbine Avenue at Woodbine Beach. The former route of Highway 2 then follows Kingston Road east.

Entering Toronto at the western city limit, Lake Shore Boulevard (designated Lake Shore Boulevard West, but originally the "Lakeshore Road") is a four-lane arterial road through the neighbourhoods of Long Branch, New Toronto and Mimico. This section is lined with commercial and retail uses. The area furthest to the west was more industrial in character, which continues to be converted to other uses. As the street gets nearer to Humber Bay, the Mimico area becomes almost entirely residential and somewhat older as it was one of the first areas of cottage development for city dwellers. East of Park Lawn Road, the street is lined to the south with recently built condominium towers on the former stretch of motels known as "The Motel Strip". No motels now remain from the period when travelers would stay at motels here, which was then just outside the City of Toronto city limits.
