o toronto pearson international airport from westbound highway 401 at islington avenue the section east of highway 427 is within toronto while the remaining sections west are within the city of mississauga the expressway is maintained by the ministry of transportation of ontario and the greater toronto airports authority the alternate name is taken from nearby belfield road which begins from the westbound off ramps for kipling avenue arterial roads edit queens quay edit main article queens quay toronto queens quay length 3 6 km 2 2 mi 2 location stadium road lake shore boulevard east continues north as parliament street queens quay in 1910 queens quay begins west of bathurst street at stadium road and ends at lake shore boulevard east where it continues north as parliament street 3 the roadbed is built entirely on infill and is the closest road to lake ontario throughout the downtown core though once abutted by industrial and transportation uses from end to end much of its length is now lined with recreational and residential uses the 509 harbourfront streetcar line now travels in a dedicated streetcar right of way in the median from bay street to bathurst street the length east of yonge street retains some industrial uses although this is changing with the development of residential and commercial uses in 2015 waterfront toronto announced its plans to turn queens quay into a grand lakefront boulevard by placing streetcar lanes in the centre traffic only on the north side and a bicycle and pedestrian focused space on the south side the plan reduces the number of traffic lanes on queens quay to two to the north side of the streetcar tracks additionally the plan calls for the beautification and extension of the harbourfront streetcar line along queens quay east between yonge and cherry streets 4 the newly modified queens quay was completed in 2015 from bathurst street to bay street lake shore boulevard edit main article lake shore boulevard lake shore boulevard location etobicoke creek ashbridge s bay continues north as woodbine avenue looking east on lake shore boulevard from exhibition place lake shore boulevard often incorrectly compounded to lakeshore boulevard is so named because of its course along the lake ontario shoreline although the road west of roncesvalles avenue which was the eastern terminus of the original lake shore road which continued as queen street has existed since the 19th century much of the remainder of the route was created between the 1920s and 1950s lake shore boulevard east of the humber river was doubled in width by widening into the right of way of lake shore road replacing it which resulted in the demolition of the rail overpass leading to the queen roncesvalles intersection by 1960 incorporating various streets that mostly formed the original route of former highway 2 such as laburnam avenue starr avenue and dominion street the route was pushed east to bathurst street on january 28 1924 5 from there it continued as fleet street to cherry street incorporating a segment of the latter keating street continued east from a point just south of that intersection to leslie street and a new extension was built to turn north to tie into a short southerly extension of woodbine avenue these three streets were reconstructed to form a continuous roadway and renamed as part of lake shore
