Markham Bypass to end at Steeles Ave....

[suv]

It looks like the Markham Bypass will stay in York Region and not cut through the Rouge Valley in Markham or Scarborough...

"York Region may decide June 19 to abandon a long effort to finish a continuous bypass road through Scarborough.
After two and a half years of unsuccessfully working to convince Toronto to drop objections to York's preferred Markham Bypass route over the Rouge River in Scarborough, the region has agreed "in principle" to another route, one the city prefers.

The news is contained in a letter, obtained by The Scarborough Mirror, which Environment Minister John Gerretsen sent last week to York Regional Chairperson Bill Fisch."

Hopefully, the LRT line from STC gets connected up to Boxgrove...

A hideously expensive line with minimal ridership potential...yes, the project has an honestly good chance of materializing.

Just get the damned Midtown Corridor in service, then run build a GO station there instead. Hell, you could even send the train to Peterborough from there. Building an LRT line would be pointless due to miniscule ridership and a long trip time.
