Don Mills Road is a north-south route in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, passing through the former cities of East York and North York. It begins at O'Connor Drive near ramps to the Don Valley Parkway, and ends at John Street in Markham, where its name changes to Leslie Street. North of Steeles Avenue, the road is officially named as York Regional Road 12.
From south to north, it passes through the neighbourhoods of Todmorden Village, Flemingdon Park, Don Mills, Graydon Hall, Henry Farm, Parkway Forest, and Don Valley Village.
Between Sheppard and Finch Avenues, Don Mills Road splits into
two one-way curved boulevards known as Don Mills Road East and Don Mills Road West.[1]
This section is called The Peanut due to its shape on a topographic map. It surrounds schools, a community centre, and the Peanut Plaza. [2]
