Allen Road (original) (raw)
William R. Allen Road, also known as Allen Road, the Allen Expressway and colloquially as the Allen, is a short expressway and arterial road in Toronto. It starts as a controlled-access expressway at Eglinton Avenue West, heading north to just south of Transit Road, then continues as an arterial road north to Kennard Avenue, where it continues as Dufferin Street. Allen Road is named after Metro Toronto chairman William R. Allen and is maintained by the City of Toronto. Landmarks along the road include the Lawrence Heights housing project, Yorkdale Shopping Centre and Downsview Park, and Downsview Airport. A section of the Line 1 Yonge–University subway is located within the median of the expressway from Eglinton Avenue to north of Wilson Avenue.

| dbo:abstract | William R. Allen Road, also known as Allen Road, the Allen Expressway and colloquially as the Allen, is a short expressway and arterial road in Toronto. It starts as a controlled-access expressway at Eglinton Avenue West, heading north to just south of Transit Road, then continues as an arterial road north to Kennard Avenue, where it continues as Dufferin Street. Allen Road is named after Metro Toronto chairman William R. Allen and is maintained by the City of Toronto. Landmarks along the road include the Lawrence Heights housing project, Yorkdale Shopping Centre and Downsview Park, and Downsview Airport. A section of the Line 1 Yonge–University subway is located within the median of the expressway from Eglinton Avenue to north of Wilson Avenue. The portion south of Transit Road was originally constructed as part of the Spadina Expressway. The Spadina was a proposed north–south freeway in the 1950s, intended to connect downtown Toronto to the suburbs of North York and to serve the Yorkdale Shopping Centre project; it was only partially built before being cancelled in 1971 due to public opposition. Initially proposed in the 1950s as part of a network of freeways surrounding Toronto, its cancellation in 1971 ended proposals for other proposed expressways into and around Metro Toronto. Despite this, extensions were opened south to Eglinton in 1976 and north to Kennard Avenue in 1982. In 1983, the province of Ontario, the City of Toronto and the government of Metropolitan Toronto (Metro) agreed to a land transfer that saw a strip of land south of Eglinton, as well as the right-of-way for the proposed expressway, transferred to the city in exchange for the fully-constructed arterial extension of Highway 400 now known as Black Creek Drive. Various proposals since to extend Allen Road south of Eglinton—either above or below ground—have never gained traction, and the route remains a backlogged stub of the original proposals. Despite this, the decision to cancel the Spadina—and by extension similar expressways into downtowns—has been regarded as one of the defining moments of urban planning in Canada. (en) A Allen Road (nome oficial: William R. Allen Road) é uma via expressa localizada em Toronto, Ontário, Canadá. É uma via expressa municipal, administrada pela cidade de Toronto. É a porção construída da muita controversial Spadina Expressway, a última tendo sido originalmente planejada para correr entre a Steeles Avenue no norte da cidade até meados da Spadina Avenue, ao sul da Bloor Street, servindo como rota alternativa para a já congestionada Don Valley Parkway. A Spadina Expressway foi somente parcialmente construída por ter enfrentado grande oposição dos habitantes das comunidades onde a via expressa passaria, que temiam a demolição de suas casas, maior tráfego de veículos e poluição. Como resultado, a atual Allen Road é significantemente menor do que o planejado, correndo por aproximadamente oito quilômetros, entre a Eglinton Avenue e a Sheppard Avenue, cruzando a Highway 401. Mesmo assim, as três faixas por sentido da via expressa estão frequentemente congestionadas, especialmente no início da via expressa no seu término sul com a Eglinton. Pontos de interesse ao longo da via expressa incluem o Yorkdale Shopping Centre, o segundo maior shopping center do Canadá, e o Downsview Park. O trecho Spadina da linha Yonge-University-Spadina corre ao longo do meio desta via expressa. (pt) 艾倫道（英語：Allen Road），全称威廉姆·R·艾伦道（William R. Allen Road），又作艾倫高速公路（Allen Expressway），是加拿大安大略省多倫多市的一條主要南北向道路，南起艾靈頓西路（Eglinton Avenue West），北端在斯提普羅克徑（Steeprock Drive）與奧佛布魯克坊（Overbrook Place）的交界處駁上德化林街（Dufferin Street），大部分路段來回合共四線行車，而從艾靈頓西路到運輸道（Transit Road）的路段則達致高速公路資格。道路全線由多倫多市政府管理。 此道路在1950至70年代的規劃和工程階段時稱為士巴丹拿高速公路（Spadina Expressway）。該公路本來計劃北起安大略401號省道，在巴佛士街和德化林街之間往南延至艾靈頓西路，之後往東南伸延至卡薩羅馬城堡一帶，再取代士巴丹拿道的走線通往多倫多市中心。項目於1962年獲大多倫多市議會通過，並於1963年動工，介乎羅倫斯西路（Lawrence Avenue）和衛信路（Wilson Avenue）路段於1966年開通。然而，隨著項目於1960年代末遇到越來越多沿線居民反對，安大略省政府於1971年宣佈撤回對項目的支持，艾靈頓西路以南的路段亦告取消，而羅倫斯西路至艾靈頓西路的路段則於1976年完成。士巴丹拿高速公路的餘下路段被取消後，已建成的路段則以大多倫多市第二任主席威廉·艾倫（William R. Allen）命名。 多倫多地鐵央街－大學線的士巴丹拿段（又作士巴丹拿線）從艾靈頓西路至衛信路的路段在艾倫道的中央分隔帶上行駛。士巴丹拿線與士巴丹拿高速公路同期規劃，但高速公路項目取消後地鐵線卻沒有更名。 (zh) |
