There are some underlying lot lines showing where Van Horne Blvd. was supposed to go, linking the south end of Tuxedo Avenue with the NE end of Mountbatten Avenue.
The original Assiniboine Park still has underlying river lot lines, and the western half the Zoo and the west end of the park still has its underlying 50' x 150' lots and streets.
