I'm pleased to announce I'm leading a Jane's Walk again this year.
Jane's Walks are free neighbourhood strolls that emphasize the importance of walkable and diverse cities and neighbourhoods. Led by locals who know from experience what's important and interesting about the areas so they focus on personal observations.

Dawlish Avenue was first laid out in W. S. Dinnick's plan for the Lawrence Park Estates in the early 1900s. Bordered by a park, it curved south eastward away from Yonge but was still close to transit and shopping. After World War II, the eastern end was developed quickly and with a focus toward car owners. Come along and see a this interesting street with a gal who grew up there.
Meeting Place: Parking lot at the south west corner of Bayview Avenue and Dawlish Avenue.
TTC Directions: From Lawrence Station, take the Sunnybrook 124 bus to the Dawlish Avenue stop.
End Location: St Edmunds Drive and Yonge Street. Not a circular route.
Difficulty: Gentle hills along the walk. Rough pavement with no sidewalks for the first 40% of the walk.
Parking: Some street parking. Note, this is a non-circular walk and the walk back to your car may take 20-25 minutes.
