I've been training on the hills in the beaches, and I'd venture to say that Scarborough road is not only the steepest hill in the area, but perhaps in the city? Google Earth elevation data doesn't seem to be accurate enough, as it shows the same thing for all of the parallel streets.

I personally got to know that hill the first time when I was moving into the area a while back.. Queen was closed for streetcar repairs, and Scarborough road was the only street open to cross through. So... I got to drive a fully loaded U-Haul down it - good times!
