Lake Shore Boulevard

Lake Shore Boulevard

Lake Shore Boulevard is an east-west route running along most of Toronto's waterfront.

Lake Shore Boulevard curves north to become Woodbine Avenue in the east end and in the west, ends at the western boundary of the City of Toronto, west of Browns Line. (The street becomes Lakeshore Road as it continues into Mississauga and beyond.) It does not extend into the eastern end of the city (The Beaches and Scarborough - in these areas Kingston Road is the primary thoroughfare closest to the lakefront.) Lake Shore is heavily used by commuters as an alternate to the Gardiner Expressway.

Lake Shore Boulevard (along with Kingston Road) was previously designated as Highway 2.

Entering Toronto at the western city limit, Lake Shore Boulevard passes through the neighourhoods of Long Branch, New Toronto and Mimico. It then crosses the Humber River and runs parallel to Lake Ontario, offering expansive views of the city and lake. In the downtown section, Lake Shore criss-crosses, runs parallel and underneath the elevated Gardiner Expressway.
