Lawrence Avenue

A detour north on Bayview leads to Post Road and a connection back to Lawrence Avenue on the east side of the valley.

East of Leslie Street, Lawrence becomes a principal arterial road, passing through Don Mills.

[2] Lawrence continues as a six-lane road through most of Scarborough, with many strip malls flanking its sides.

Through Scarborough it is the main east–west arterial for a number of neighbourhoods, including Wexford, Bendale, Woburn, and West Hill.

The 58 Malton bus provided service between Lawrence West station to Westwood Mall in Mississauga until 2014.

Lawrence Avenue served as the "Base Line" for the Scarborough Township Survey in the 1800s and remains a key road in the area.

Lawrence Avenue east of Meadowvale Road in Scarborough was part of Colonel Danforth Trail until the early 1970s.

A destroyed bridge with a part with one end attached to the shore and the other end in the water; the other part is missing.
The Lawrence Avenue bridge over the Humber River was washed out by Hurricane Hazel; part of it remained attached to the shore, and the rest was swept away by the river.
