Future
The original intention of the Markham Bypass was to link to Highway 401 via the Morningside Avenue extension. York Region wished for the connection between the bypass and Morningside to be continuous, meeting Steeles Avenue west of its intersection with Ninth Line. However, Toronto has thus far resisted the pressure from York Region to utilize the continuous alignment, citing the environmental effects that will come of two new crossings over the Rouge River. As such, a discontinuous alignment is likely, with Donald Cousens Parkway ending at the current Steeles Avenue / Ninth Line intersection, the two lane Steeles being widened to six west of that point, and Morningside meeting Steeles immediately east of Eastvale Drive. Plans to push Donald Cousens Parkway north of Major Mackenzie Drive to Highway 48 appear on the York Region official plan. Construction is currently scheduled for 2016.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man’s nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become “Golems,” they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Whoever influences the child’s life ought to try to give him a positive view of himself and of his world. The child’s future happiness and his ability to cope with life and relate to others will depend on it.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man. I like to think the women in my son’s future are counting on me.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
