Getting Around Toronto 
Downtown city streets are laid out in a grid format. 
• Main streets such as University, Bay, Yonge, Jarvis and Sherbourne run north-south. 
• Others streets such as King, Queen, Dundas, College/Carlton, Wellesley and Bloor run east-west. 
• Yonge Street is the dividing line between the east and west sides of the city. Lake Ontario lies to the south.

Finding an Address 
Once you understand the grid, finding a street number is relatively easy if you know the closest main intersection. 
• For streets running north-south (Yonge & Bay Sts.), numbering begins at the lake and rises as you travel north. 
• Even numbers are on the west side of the street; odd numbers are on the east side. 
• For streets running east-west (King & Bloor Sts.) the numbering system begins at Yonge Street and gets higher as you walk west towards Bay or east towards Jarvis.
