Ontario provincial highway 427 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Highway 427 is Ontario's second busiest freeway by volume, and has no fewer than 12 lanes between the QEW/Gardiner and Highway 401, divided into an collector-express system similar to that of Highway 401, replacing "service roads" in the 1970s. The complicated 401-427 interchange also includes high-speed ramps between from Eglinton Avenue westbound to Highway 401 westbound, Highway 427, and Highway 27; those freeway-to-freeway connectors (which seem excessive for an arterial road like Eglinton) were meant for the never-built Richview Expressway which was proposed to run eastward from that interchange, parallel to Eglinton. There is talk of expanding this route further north from Vaughan, to at least Highway 89, and possibly as far north as Barrie, as an bypass of the existing Highway 400 whose traffic levels are expected to outstrip expansion capacity in the next 20 years. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Highway_427

Mississauga, Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Major highways include Highway 401 (the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, connecting Windsor-Detroit to Quebec), Highway 403 (to Hamilton), Highway 407 (toll route across the north end of the city), Highway 410 (to Brampton), the Queen Elizabeth Way (to Niagara Falls and Buffalo), and Highway 427, straddling the Toronto-Mississauga Boundary, and access into Pearson International Airport. Mississauga is bounded by Oakville, Ontario and Milton, Ontario to the west, Brampton, Ontario to the north, Toronto to the east, and Lake Ontario to the south. The city's Mississauga Transit service provides relatively frequent bus service across the city, and connects to the TTC subway and GO Transit (a busway similar to Ottawa's Transitway is being planned). www.americancanyon.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Mississauga,_Ontario

Ontario Provincial Highways (400-427 + QEW) Hwy 427 is one of the Toronto area's busy urban freeways, carrying all traffic between the Lester B Pearson International Airport and downtown, as well as much of the inbound traffic from Hwy 401 heading for the centre of the city. This highway is the eastern of the two segments of Hwy 403 in Ontario.

Today the stretch of Highway 401 that passes through the Greater_Toronto_Area ranges from 6 to 18 lanes, and the stretch between Highway_403 and Brock Road in Pickering is thought to be the world's longest continuous stretch of highway having 10 or more lanes. www.witwib.com /Ontario_provincial_highway_401

Toronto The City of Toronto covers an area of 641 km² (247 square miles) and is bounded by Lake Ontario to the south, Etobicoke Creek and Highway 427 to the west, Steeles Avenue to the north, and the Rouge River to the east. Highway 401 (or simply, "the 401") acts as a by-pass of downtown Toronto, and is one of the most congested highways in North America. Highway 407 ETR does not operate within Toronto proper, but is a major highway in the Greater Toronto Area acting as a secondary by-pass around the northern end of Toronto. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/T/Toronto.htm

History of Ontario's Kings Highways - Introduction to Ontario Highways The 407, 410, 416, 417, 420 and 427 all adopted their numbers from another highway that was bypassed by the 400-series route. For example, most of the highways in the 50s lie between Brantford and the Niagara Peninsula, and most of the highways in the 80s are in Southwestern Ontario. Conventional King's Highways are primary routes, with numbers between 3 and 148 (until recently, 2 through 169). www.thekingshighway.ca /intro.html

Ontario Highways: Highway Configuration While these are not official route designations in the sense of highway numbering, these routes may still be encountered by travellers along Ontario's highways. While this route is not a provincially maintained highway, it is numbered in sequence with the provincial highways and is very much related to the rest of the system. Ontario is unique among all Canadian provinces in that it is the only one which actually has a county/regional road configuration. www.ontariohighways.org /kings_highways.html

Ministry of Transportation Business Plan 2001-2002 Ontario's highway network is rated as the fourth safest in North America. The funds were used to repair existing highways, reduce congestion on major highways in urban areas and along international trade corridors, and to expand the province's routes to the north. Ontario continued to be recognized as the fourth-safest jurisdiction in North America. www.mto.gov.on.ca /english/about/bplan/2001_02.htm

Highway 401 - the Story.html In 2001 MTO announced future plans for extensions of Highways 410, 427, 404 and provision for a future GTA east-west freeway corridor north of 407 (location yet to be determined). Highway 401 was also conceived as a completely controlled-access highway on a separate alignment from start to finish, bypassing all the cities and towns along its length. Highway 401 construction was delayed in part, because of material and manpower shortages after World War II and onset of the Korean war in 1949. roadscholar.on.ca /lateststory.html

Northbound Highway 427 to be upgraded by 2003 @ workopolis.com Expect Highway 427 to be busy with construction crews over the next year as the Ontario government spends $11.4-million on roadway improvements.

Impacts The nation's highway system is in a constant state of change. There is an additional economic benefit, however, in the form of the stimulus to state and regional economies arising directly from highway construction spending. The highway capital outlays by all levels of government in 1998 totaled more than $51.6 billion. www.tfhrc.gov /pubrds/septoct00/impacts.htm

Welcome to the1966 Plan The expressway system included the Provincial Highways, run by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, which included Highways 400, 401, 27 (later 427) and the Queen Elizabeth Way. These would be followed by the Highway 400 Extension south to the Gardiner Expressway, and the Crosstown Expressway and the Richview Expressway across the middle of the city. 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. torontoexpwy.com /1966plan-33.html

Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat News Summer 2003: Ontario Update - Making a Case for Conservation Issues - Grassroots Group Secures Final Victory in Cloud Bay Wetland Case The Federation of Ontario Naturalists, supported by grassroots community groups in the affected areas, has called for a moratorium on all planning for new provincial highways until the provincial government completes a comprehensive “smart” transportation strategy that puts a strong emphasis on public transit and fully integrates transportation planning with urban planning. After the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) ruled in August 2002 that a seasonal trailer park should not be permitted adjacent to this Provincially Significant Wetland, the developer and the Municipality of Neebing jointly filed an application for leave to appeal the OMB decision to the Divisional Court of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Grassroots groups fighting these highway proposals were appalled when in May, the provincial government introduced for first reading in the legislature a bill called the Smart Transportation Act (Bill 25). www.glhabitat.org /news/glnews306.html

Articles - Ontario provincial highway 409 Highway 409 is a short freeway used mainly a bypass for traffic approaching the airport from Highway 401 (westbound) or approaching Highway 427 (northbound), since both are not accesible from 401 (westbound) at the mega-interchange with 427. Highway 409 is an Ontario provincial 400-Series expressway that runs from the 401 in Toronto to Toronto Pearson International Airport, west of Highway 427, in Mississauga. The portion of Highway 409 west of Highway 427 is owned and operated by the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, though it is still signed as Highway 409. www.gaple.com /articles/Highway_409

Green Ontario Strategy A moratorium on planning, building, widening or extending 400-series highways until an environmentally and economically sustainable Ontario-wide transportation plan is in place. Provincial organizations and individuals are banding together to curb urban sprawl, says the newly formed Ontario Smart Growth Network. Shift the priority of senior levels of government from investments in highways to public transit and change tax policies to support urban intensification. www.greenontario.org /smartgrowth/articles.html

Ontario Lighthouses Pelée Island is accessible by ferries from Kingsville and Leamington, Ontario, and from Sandusky, Ohio. This is the oldest lighthouse in Ontario and second oldest in Canada, one of the oldest buildings in Toronto, and the oldest lighthouse on either side of the Great Lakes. Located at the end of Ontario Street at the east end of Killarney, adjacent to Killarney Provincial Park; the Friends of Killarney Park have a nice photo and keep an eye on the lighthouse. www.unc.edu /~rowlett/lighthouse/on.htm

City of Toronto, City Council Legislative Documents However, the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario also stated that the Province of Ontario will not assume proponency for this project, and that financial responsibility for the interchange improvements must be assumed by either the developer or the former City of Etobicoke. In correspondence dated January 2, 1996, the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario indicated that while additional study is required, they are in general agreement with the revised interchange configuration that is currently described in the Sherway Centre Secondary Plan. Subsequently, in October 1998, Adason Properties Limited, a subsidiary of the Canada Life Assurance Company, wrote to request that the City of Toronto act as the proponent. www.city.toronto.on.ca /legdocs/1999/agendas/committees/ud/ud990111/it008.htm

ARMCA - Alberta Ready Mixed Concrete Association - Production of Ready Mixed Concrete Interestingly, Toronto*s Highway 427 was build of concrete in 1969 and has yet to undergo a major restoration. High volume, high truck traffic highways are ideally suited to concrete according to Lloyd Ferguson, president of the Ontario Road Builders Association. The Cement Association of Canada has sent the NRC study to federal and provincial cabinet ministers responsible for transportation, highways and roads, many of whom are considering major highway construction and resurfacing plans. www.armca.net /january2001.htm
