The Oakwood streetcar line was abandoned on January 1, 1960. If you look at the roadway, you maybe able to see the outline of the old streetcar tracks in the asphalt. I have noticed at Oakwood, just south of Eglinton, the pattern of the tracks. When they start to dig in the area for the LRT line, all those old cover ups could disappear.
