| From: William Park <whp.park@gmail.com> | Bob, from Queen & Dufferin to Dundas & Bay... that's quite a walk. :-) Much of Ontario is laid out in a grid of "concession roads", each 1.25 miles (2 km) apart (not Kitchener Waterloo!). <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concession_road> Jane, Keele, Dufferin, Bathurst, Yonge, and Bayview are concession roads. So are Queen, Bloor, St. Clair, Eglinton, Lawrence, York Mills, Sheppard, and Steeles. So it is easy to tell that this walk is about 4 km without consulting google. I would guess that few city dwellers know this but it is pretty evident out in the country (wherever that is these days).
