Browns Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Browns Line is a short arterial route that only spans 2 kilometers between Evans Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard in Etobicoke, Ontario, now part of Toronto.
It is an important north-south artery under the jurisdiction of the City of Toronto, and extends from the ramps at the southerly end of Provincial Highway 427 at its intersection with the Queen Elizabeth Way and Gardiner Expressway, and travels south to connect to Lake Shore Boulevard in the neighbourhood of Long Branch.
[edit] Community
Browns Line is the core, and the main shopping street, for the neighbourhood of Alderwood. Like many of the other streets in this area Browns Line was named after one of the original farmers. [1] Civic improvements were undertaken in 2001 to create a gateway to the waterfront with a 24 metre high tower marking the southerly terminus of Browns Line. [2]
Transit along Browns Line is provided by the TTC's 123 and 123C Shorncliff and 110A Islington South bus routes, which run from Long Branch Loop to Kipling station and Islington station, respectively.
