But as I suspected, no other office buildings were built. Another "bait" project like Aviva in Downtown Markham with no other takers.

It's more because people still call it Highway 10 because Mississauga has a rural history.

I just noticed in all the pics I've seen...where's the southbound connection from Rathburn? Is is supposed to just veer off Rathburn at-grade?

Saw more posts and was expecting to see more aerial shots...

I don't think it's so much that because Caledon could be served by regional transit. Along with the municipalities spanning the region, its also a matter of north-south routes needing to be split anyways due to length, which the Mississauga/Brampton boundary area is already very suitable for.

If one transit system is created for Halton, that would leave Peel as the only region that still has lower-tier transit. Kind of ironic giving the age and extent of urbanization there, but sort of making sense given its geography of having only two cities on top of one another with no other...

Nope. 400A was changed to 11.

It does now and has since 11 was downloaded between Toronto and Barrie

Given this is for the whole province, GTA transit projects are not that relevant here.

The 410 and part of the 403 isn't actually a replacement of Cawthra, as Cawthra ended at Eglinton, where the concession grid changed. It was built there because development ended at Heart Lake/Tomken in Mississauga and there was open space available to build it to the west, allowing Heart...

Tomken Road was originally the southern continuation of Heart Lake Road, as can be seen with the 410 lining up with it north of Steeles.in the distance.

It looks like it is a false memory as this 1973 aerial pic seems to indicate: https://www.toronto.ca/ext/archives/s0012/fl1973/s0012_fl1973_it0049.jpg

It was never Bloor. It was just supposed to be an extension of Bloor before the ring road plan.

No seriously. It doesn't exist. And why don't wouldn't you have this for other amalgamated cities where the former municipalities originated as actual towns which are much more visible (e.g: Woodbridge, Stoney Creek), and whose sense of independence is taken a lot more seriously even by non-locals?

For a city that no longer exists?
