Gardiner Expressway to be extended through the east end of the City and across Scarborough to join Highway 401 (the extension was referred to as the Scarborough Expressway).
After construction was scheduled and begun, a huge protest against the further extension of the Spadina (William R. Allen) Expressway, led by urban sociologist Jane Jacobs, resulted in the Province intervening and cancelling further construction of the expressway in 1971.
The Spadina Expressway would stop permanently at Eglinton Avenue West; the Highway 400 Extension was shrunk down to an arterial road, known as Black Creek Drive, and the Scarborough and Richview Expressways became undefined transportation corridors.
