Amesfort Avenue, a street I've been down a million times, looked totally different for some reason. Full of people I never saw before, waiting for buses, pushing strollers. We crossed Amesfort and turned up Heights Place

What does turn up mean here?

Answer

In this context it means to walk on to Heights Place, literally leaving one street and joining another

Answer

Meaning they turned into another street.

Turned up is the past tense of the phrasal verb "turn up" which has a few different meanings; in this case it means "to arrive." You can think of this sentence as: We crossed Amesfort and "arrived at" Heights Place
