The West Toronto Railpath is lovely at sunset. Take a stroll to the Wallace Street Pedestrian Bridge for maximum sky views over the train tracks. It runs basically parallel to Symington from Dupont to Dundas. There is an entrance up some steps from Bloor street, right next to the UP Express/GO Station. Check out some of Toronto's street art.
