As Etobicoke moves north away from the lake the number of residential areas increases greatly. Running through the centre of Etobicoke is the Highway 427, which is downtown Toronto’s main access to Pearson International Airport. Highway 427 runs north/south and at the south end of the highway it runs into a highway called the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW).
