Future
During the 2010 Toronto mayoral election, Rocco Rossi proposed completing the expressway in a tunnel to meet the Gardiner Expressway. However, Rossi's position in favour of extending the expressway conflicts with the plans for the Lawrence Heights revitalization project. Later that week, after much criticism of Rossi by other candidates and the media, Rossi revised his position to one of "studying" building a tunnel.
In 2012, the City of Toronto is studying how to make Allen Road better for the people that travel on it and the communities that surround it. It says that “Continuing Allen Road south, similar to the original 1950s expressway plan, is not being considered an option”.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“complaint of present days
Is not the certain path to future praise.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Our Last Will and Testament, providing for the only future of which we can be reasonably certain, namely our own death, shows that the Will’s need to will is no less strong than Reason’s need to think; in both instances the mind transcends its own natural limitations, either by asking unanswerable questions or by projecting itself into a future which, for the willing subject, will never be.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
