I think Malton didn't have a fast connection to YorkU until Septmeber last year (Zum), but a nice idea overall.

407 TRANSITWAY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROJECT UPDATE March 24, 2011

Looks like its moving in a promising direction, although we'll see what happens with the proposed station in Concord, which is facing a lot of local opposition. Locals want to move the GO train station to the North side of Highway 7, but the transitway is on the South.
That is a VERY good question. I've never heard anything breaking out the connector highways from the 407 itself whenever tolls have been discussed, so I'd assume that they'd be tolled.Will the connector highways be tolled as well, or just the 407 itself?

I would hope that they wouldn't be. These connectors have a good chance of removing a lot of the traffic from the north-south arterials in the area. Tolling them would reduce this effect, and given the short length of the highways, the toll fee wouldn't be very much anyway.
Will these be part of the 400 series highway system, or just be a provincially numbered highway (not 400 series)?
The one thing I noted off the website was they are calling this new stretch "Highway 407 East" and that it will be Owned by the Province and "the government will retain the revenues generated by tolls and establish high customer service standards".
Maybe someone learned from past lessons about 99 year leases.
