The original YORKDALE layout, circa-1964. Anchor stores fronted on dramatic, 3-storey court areas, each with its own balcony bistro. The shopping hub was accessed by the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway-Route 401, on the north. A section of the Spadina ["Spuh-diy-nuh"] Expressway, east of the mall, would open to traffic in December 1966.
