Most of Toronto's Streets Run North/South or East/West many
though not all streets are divided by West and East at Yonge
Street (The main street in Toronto) So that there are Queen Street
East and Queen Street West with the numbers in each direction
starting at Yonge St., the same for King St., Dundas and others.
