The traffic circle at Queen Elizabeth Driveway and the Pretoria Bridge has changed dramatically in the last 100 years. The lovely landscaping of the traffic island and the few cars in the early photo depict a more leisurely time. Over the bridge to the left on Colonel By Drive is a coal shed. The Queensway was built along the path of a former railway line at this location. The photo from the 1970s was taken looking in the other direction. It shows a car dealership where the TD bank now stands beside Loblaw's parking lot. The bottom photo, taken this past July, indicates the degree to which traf- fic has increased in the area.
