This part of Toronto also has laneways, so if you use the above feature, in combination with crossing through laneways that don't show up as streets at this level of zoom, you can perhaps get diagonal interpretation from Strava.
People were generally understanding when I walked through homes. But when it got inconvenient I just stoped/started the app to get Strava to draw B-line between the points
Strava requires a run to be continuous. So I do the full run. And in post I trim off the extra bits to get the hat in the airThe green patch in the head when the video starts is Christie Pits:

The green patch by the right leg is:

Both are nice, but the run would is done via Ossington on the left of the body:

And Gorve Vale/Grace on the right of the body. Ossington would probably have decent street life.
Toggling Strava pauses to get nice straight lines is definitely a bit of a trick to make it nicer.
> When there are buildings in the way of a line he needs to draw, “I pause the app, then when I get to the desired destination, I resume,” he said. “When you un-pause, Strava runs a direct line between the two points.”
Not saying it is not real but it is just a bit too clean to me. Even with extremely good planning i would expect that the lines would need to compromise sometimes to avoid buildings.
