Wilson Avenue (Toronto)

Wilson Avenue (Toronto)

Wilson Avenue is an east-west street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The westward extension of York Mills Road (itself a westward extension of Ellesmere Road), it stretches from Yonge Street and ends before reaching Weston Road (Wilson is a small side street as Wilson becomes Walsh Avenue before changing into Albion Road west of Weston Road). Wilson Avenue is parallel to and one major block north of Lawrence Avenue.

The street is likely named after TTC and city traffic consultant Norman D. Wilson, who was instrumental in the design of the Toronto subway system.
