Keele Street

Keele Street

Keele Street is a north-south road in Toronto and York Region (York Regional Road 6) in Ontario, Canada, running from Bloor Street in Toronto to the Holland Marsh. South of Bloor Street, the roadway is known as Parkside Drive, and ends at Lake Shore Boulevard near Sunnyside Beach, site of the former Sunnyside Amusement Park.

Most of Keele runs directly along a former concession road (Third Line West of Yonge Street) allowance, with a brief cut-offs at St. Clair Avenue West, where the roadway becomes Weston Road. Deviated from its routing by the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railway corridors, near the former Canada Packers stock yards, it resumes south of Eglinton Avenue, and connects with Weston Road by Rogers Road. There is a minor jog at Eglinton, via Trethewey Drive and Yore Road. At Steeles Avenue, the road allowance between the former North York and Vaughan Townships was connected in the early 1960s.

Keele street was named for local businessman William Conroy Keele.Major sites along Keele:

* York University - Keele campus, including Seneca @ York
* High Park at Keele and Bloor.
* Downsview Park, Western Limits.
* Keele subway station, briefly the west terminus of the Bloor-Danforth (TTC) subway (1966-1968)
