One of the shortest and yet busiest little streets in Leaside has been re-paved. It is the remnant of Pottery Road, stretching a few metres from Moore Ave. on the north to the Bayview extension on the south. For decades it has been a bumpy, pocked section of road that was so painful to travel it made the speeding drivers coming off the northbound extension slow down and think. Pottery sits in its original place, a route that pre-dates practically everything in the neighborhood, including the Town of Leaside itself. In those days it was more of a path than a road. Before Bayview Ave. was extended south, Pottery Rd. travelled into the valley and picked up the other section of the road still extant. It runs from Bayview across the river and up the hill to Broadview Ave. It is said there are still bits and pieces of the abandoned Pottery Rd from the 1940s on the hillside above the Bayview extension. It took a meandering route down into the valley. The newly re-paved portion sits, as Loblaws shoppers will know, between the grocery store and the Pharma Plus-TD Bank plaza on the west.
