You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Victoria Park Avenue''' is a major north-south route in eastern [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada. It is the western border of [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]], separating it from [[Old Toronto]], [[East York, Ontario|East York]], and [[North York]]. The common nickname for it is VP or Vic Park.

==History==
[[File:Vic Park at Queen.JPG|thumb|right|Victoria Park is a narrow residential street as it climbs the western edge of the [[Scarborough Bluffs]] in [[The Beaches, Toronto|the Beaches]]]]
[[File:Victoria Park Ave Aerial view to north in Victoria Village 2023.jpg|thumb|right|Victoria Park Avenue at [[Victoria Village]]]]
Victoria Park Avenue was originally a pioneer road for settlement of Scarborough. Except for its very southernmost section (south of Bracken Avenue), the road once formed the boundary for the former [[township (Canada)|township]], [[borough#Canada|borough]], and city of Scarborough with the former municipalities of East York, North York, and the [[Old Toronto|former city of Toronto]]. Road was also called. Scarborough-York Town Line.

The road took its name from the Victoria Park amusement park that operated south of Queen Street between 1878 and 1906.<ref>((Cite web |last=Mutrie |first=Eric |date=2010-11-18 |title=Street Stories: Victoria Park Avenue |url=http://spacing.ca/toronto/2010/11/18/street-stories-victoria-park-avenue/ |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=Spacing Toronto |language=en-US))</ref>((Better source needed|reason=may be a user-generated site|date=August 2023))

==Route description==
Victoria Park Avenue begins as a two-lane residential street near Lake Ontario at [[Queen Street West|Queen Street]] at the east end of [[The Beaches, Toronto|The Beaches]] community.  It takes a sharp jog west just before Bracken Avenue, and then continues in a straight line northward.

It remains a two-lane residential street past Bracken Avenue north to [[Gerrard Street (Toronto)|Gerrard Street]], albeit one with a heavy traffic load; at Gerrard Street it becomes a four-lane major arterial road. It reduces to two lanes again from a point north of [[Danforth Avenue]] to [[Dawes Road]], then returns to four lanes for rest of its length.<ref>((Cite web |last=Mutrie |first=Eric |date=2010-11-18 |title=Street Stories: Victoria Park Avenue |url=http://spacing.ca/toronto/2010/11/18/street-stories-victoria-park-avenue/ |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=Spacing Toronto |language=en-US))</ref> North of Dawes it shifts from being a residential street to being a suburban arterial, with mostly stores and low rise apartment buildings along the rest of its length. North of [[McNicoll Avenue]] the route is a mixed commercial and light industrial street.

Victoria Park Avenue ends a short distance north of [[Steeles Avenue]] at Denison Street in [[Markham, Ontario]].

==Public transit==
Victoria Park remains one of the busiest north-south streets in Scarborough, along with [[Markham Road]] and [[Kennedy Road (Toronto)|Kennedy Road]]. It is served by the Toronto subway at [[Victoria Park station (Toronto)|Victoria Park station]]. 

Historically the first bus to service the street were private routes that operated along Dawes Road, and then north along Victoria Park. This route was taken over by the TTC in 1954, and offered service as far north as Victoria Park and [[Lawrence Avenue|Lawrence]].<ref>Peter Coulman "[http://transit.toronto.on.ca/bus/routes/23-dawes.shtml 23 Dawes]" ''Transit Toronto.''</ref> The opening of Victoria Park subway station in 1968 led to the creation of the 24 Victoria Park, replacing the Dawes Road bus on Victoria Park. It first ran to Victoria Park and Old Sheppard Avenue, but has steadily been extended northwards. With the opening of [[Line 4 Sheppard|Sheppard subway]] in 2002, the 224 Victoria Park North ran from [[Don Mills station]] into Markham. The 224 went back to the older alignment with the 24D Victoria Park branch in 2016, then was replaced by the 24 Woodbine bus operated by [[York Region Transit]] later in 2016.

Also beginning in 1968, the portion of Victoria Park south of Victoria Park station began to be served by the 12 Kingston Road bus. This bus travels south of the station until [[Kingston Road (Toronto)|Kingston Road]] and then turns east along Kingston to travel into Scarborough. It stops at [[Bingham Loop]] to meet up with the termini of the [[503 Kingston Rd]].<ref>Peter Coulman "[http://transit.toronto.on.ca/bus/routes/12-kingston-roa.shtml 12 Kingston Road]" ''Transit Toronto.''</ref>
