Great aerial shots.
Looking at them, as far as I can see, there is no indication of Elway or Fraserwood in the 1947 one. That puts the development into the 1950's, and the buildings there would support that I think (based on a cursory Google look).
Ordinarily, I'd agree with your DIY subdivision idea (especially around that area), but I'm not so sure here. If we say that they were developed post-1950, I don't think its unrealistic to think that Metro was assembling parcels by that time. If Elway et al were developed later than most of the surrounding streets, it would explain why they account for the Allen and the earlier streets do not. It may perhaps explain Elway being a cul-de-sac from the get go, a relatively unusual configuration in the neighbourhood.
