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:
“He had been given to behold
The race’s future trial place,
A fresh start for the human race.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“When we raise our children, we relive our childhood. Forgotten memories, painful and pleasurable, rise to the surface.... So each of us thinks, almost daily, of how our own childhood compares with our children’s, and of what our children’s future will hold.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
