    an associated subway station on Line 2 with the same name.

    4. Going southbound on Millwood Rd. and crossing the Leaside Bridge
    (which is directly over a section of the Don River and DVP),
    the road splits into two avenues. Name *either* avenue. Hint:
    Each of avenues has an associated subway station on Line 2 with
    the same name.

    5. Going westbound on Carlton St., this street changes into what
    street at Yonge?

    6. Going southbound on Mt. Pleasant Road crossing Bloor Street,
    this road changes into what street that runs north and south?

    7. Going eastbound, Lakeshore Blvd. makes a northeast turn near
    Queen St. and ends and becomes which avenue running north-south?
    Hint: This avenue has an associated Line 2 subway station with
    the same name.

    8. Going eastbound, Eastern Av. similarly makes a northeast turn,
    ends at Queen St., and becomes what road?
