Luttrell Loop
Coordinates: 43°41′22″N 79°17′39″W / 43.68944°N 79.29417°W
The Toronto Transit Commission's Luttrell Loop was the eastern terminus of the Bloor streetcar line, until 1968, when the line line was replaced by the Bloor-Danforth subway line. Prior to the Prince Edward viaduct crossing the Don Valley, the Luttrell loop was the eastern terminus of a route that had its western terminus at Broadview Avenue.
The Luttrell Loop had two arrangements. Until 1955, the loop crossed the south-west corner counter-clockwise. In 1955, a new larger loop opened where streetcars turned south on Kelvin Avenue, east on a private right-of way where a platform and waiting rooms were built, then north on Luttrell Avenue, and west on Danforth Avenue. Also, in 1955, the Main Loop was built on Main Street just north of Danforth Avenue to eliminate the congestion of having Carlton streetcars looping at the Luttrell Loop.
Like the Jane Loop at the other end of the Bloor line several local and intercity bus routes also terminated at the loop, allowing commuters to transfer between routes.
Luttrell Avenue, an otherwise obscure, tiny dead-end street, was (at the time loop was in use) the eastern limit of the City of Toronto as it intersected with Danforth Avenue. The borders of the borough of East York dipped down south of the Danforth at this point to encompass the Ford Motor plant (later Shoppers World Danforth) which lay directly to the east of Luttrell.
