I don't think that old hand drawn map was entirely correct as I doubt Edison or Melbourne Avenue ever extended all the way to Richmond Road. I believe the section of Byron from Churchill to Roosevelt was developed as a streetcar ramp up the escarpment (just rails no road), the upper road part ended at what is now Byron Place as a T-intersection with Churchill (formerly Main Street), on the other side the road stopped at what is now Lower Byron. It wasn't until they ripped up the streetcar tracks and built a roadway on it that the two sides were connected.
