Kipling Station & Line 2 Bloor-Danforth
Kipling Subway Station
Kipling Station is the western terminus of the Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC) Line 2 Bloor-Danforth subway line. Construction on the line began in June 1962 with the original route planned from Woodbine to Keele Stations, intended to relieve crowding along the streetcar route that existed along Bloor Street at that time. This stretch opened in February 1966, with subsequent extensions to Warden Station in the east and Islington Station in the west following along in 1968. The final extensions, to Kennedy Station in the east and here at Kipling Station in the west, opened in 1980. Today Kipling is among the busiest stations in the TTC's network, handling tens of thousands of passengers per day and serving as a regional hub with connections to MiWay and GO Transit.

Mabelle Park and Mabelle Avenue
49 Mabelle Avenue
Mabelle Park shows ongoing community artworks led by MABELLEarts called A Park of Many Paths. The project brings artists and residents together to transform and animate the park. Mabelle Park is used as an outdoor kitchen, includes community gardens and holds performances and ceremonies. MABELLEarts artists have worked with over 2,000 residents of all ages to transform what was once a neglected thoroughfare in the heart of the neighbourhood into a vibrant art-park and community hub. Mabelle Avenue is also a great place to observe Islington Village's urban development. A number of residences on Mabelle Avenue were constructed by Toronto Community Housing in the late 1970s and say much about how planners wished to develop the land. There is green space located around the buildings - this type of development is called a Tower in a Park design concept, originally proposed by Le Corbusier, a French architect and urbanist who was highly influential in the mid-twentieth century.

John Kuna 'Timeline: Islington Then and Now' Mural
4959 Dundas Street West
The timeline reflected in this mural provides a glimpse into three different stages of village development from the artist's perspective. The mural begins on the left with the village's original shop, Dunn's General Store, which sold groceries and hardware and housed Islington's post office. The middle of the streetscape morphs into the 1950s, with cars driving on a paved Dundas Street. The flowering catalpa trees lining the street in the mural were planted by a local resident and market gardener in the early 20th century; they were removed when Dundas was widened. At the right side of the mural is the 2006 streetscape featuring the building on which the mural is painted.

John Kuna 'Briarly - Gone but not Forgotten' Mural
4037 Dundas Street West
Now demolished, Briarly House is remembered in a beautiful mural. Briarly was named after the briar roses that once adorned its gardens. This Regency-style cottage, dually known as the Gunn House and Briarly, was built in the 1830s just east of Montgomery's Inn. A mere ten years later, it was redesigned in a Neo-Renaissance style, before its destruction in 1989. The Montgomery family owned the property for roughly 15 years (1970-1985). John Kuna emphasizes that it is not a mournful reflection on lost history, and instead considers it a representation of the enduring power of home and family.

After undergoing several expansions, the mall now boasts over 200 stores and over 1 million square feet of retail space. The mall has also served as a filming location for movies such as 'Mean Girls' where it stood in as the Old Orchard Mall, and 'The Sentinel', where it stands in as the Allenwood Mall.

Middle Road Bridge
Over Etobicoke Creek Along Sherway Trail
This heritage-designated bridge was originally constructed in 1909-10. The architect behind the bridge, Frank Barber, is known for designing many other beautiful bridges in the city, including the Old Mill Bridge along the Humber River and Sewells Road Bridge in Scarborough. It was the first reinforced concrete truss or tied arch bridge in Canada and was constructed by master bridge builder Octavius Hicks. It was originally part of Middle Road, a major transportation route between what was once York and Peel Counties. The opening of the Queen Elizabeth Way to the south of the bridge in the 1930s marked the end of the bridge as a roadway. Today, the bridge is fully pedestrian, providing a link between Toronto and Mississauga while offering lovely views over Etobicoke Creek. The bridge underwent a restoration in 2022 which won the contractor a restoration award for their efforts.
