The Leaside Spur Trail, is a 3 km cycling and walking trail in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Acquired in 2003 fron CN Rail by the City of Toronto, the trail is under constructions with portions north of Lawrence Avenue completed.
At grade crossing at Lawrence Avenue was replaced with a signalized crossing.
