King Edward Avenue (Vancouver)

King Edward Avenue is a major east-west thoroughfare in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The road runs from Crown Street to the west, adjacent to the University Endowment Lands, to Kingsway to the east, in the Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighbourhood. Ontario Street divides "West King Edward Avenue" from "East King Edward Avenue." In the numbered avenue grid of Vancouver south of False Creek, King Edward would normally be styled 25th. It is named in honour of King Edward VII, King of Canada from 1901 to 1910. Major intersections include (from west to east) Dunbar Street, Macdonald Street, Arbutus Street, Granville Street, Oak Street, Cambie Street, Main Street, Fraser Street, Knight Street, and Kingsway.

The four and six lane road is characterised by a broad, grassy and treed median separating westbound and eastbound traffic, passing through diverse residential and commercial neighbourhoods. Its intersection with Cambie Street is the site of King Edward Station of the Metro Vancouver's Canada Line rapid transit system.

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or avenue:

“The king said, -Divide the living boy in two; then give half to the one, and half to the other. But the woman whose son was alive said to the king -because compassion for her son burned within her - -Please, my lord, give her the living boy; certainly do not kill him! The other said, -It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it. Then the king responded: -Give the first woman the living boy; do not kill him. She is his mother.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings. 3:25-37.

Solomon resolves a dispute between two women over a child. Solomon’s wisdom was proven by this story.

“Play is a major avenue for learning to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject.... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
