Eglinton Avenue is a major east–west arterial thoroughfare in Toronto and Mississauga in Ontario, Canada. In the west, the street begins at Highway 407 (but does not interchange with the tollway) at the western limits of Mississauga, as a continuation of Lower Baseline in Milton and runs nearly 60 kilometres (37 miles) across the midsection of both cities before ending at Kingston Road. Within Toronto, Eglinton Avenue is the only street that crossed all six municipalities of the former Metropolitan Toronto prior to its amalgamation: Etobicoke, York, (Old) Toronto, East York, North York, and Scarborough. The section between the Etobicoke Creek and Renforth Drive forms part of the city limits of Toronto and Mississauga.
It was historically known as Richview Sideroad in Etobicoke and Lower Baseline in Mississauga. It was also briefly designated Highway 5A (and later Highway 109) in Scarborough.
