Jarvis Street

Jarvis Street

Jarvis Street is a north-south throughfare in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, passing through some of the oldest developed areas in the city. Its alignment extends from Bloor Street in the north to Queens Quay East in the south. South of Front Street, it is signed as Lower Jarvis Street. Jarvis carries much of the downtown-bound traffic that uses Mount Pleasant Road, which connects to Jarvis at Charles Street East.

The road, originally extending only as far as Wellesley Street in the north, was created from the sale of Samuel Jarvis' estate Hazel Burn and surrounding lands in 1845 and was later developed as a residential neighbourhood for the city's rich. Major landmarks on or near Jarvis include Jarvis Collegiate Institute, Ryerson University, Rogers Building, Allan Gardens, the Consulate General of Indonesia, St. Lawrence Market, and St. Lawrence Hall.
