Has there ever been discussion of connecting the western parts of Langstaff after they connect the center and eastern parts over the CN rail yard?

Also, shouldn’t parts of Highway 7 be renamed Langstaff and 14th/Centre Rd and reconnected as appropriate or has that never been considered? Just seems like the logical thing to reconnect the original concession roads no? Is Highway 7 as a concept still needed in York Region?

they have the plans ill see if i can find them but Langstaff will be 3 lanes both directions from hwy 7 to basically 400

EDIT: Langstaff road drawings.

Langstaff Road

Project Background Within the study area, the Regional road network will be very congested without additional east-west capacity and there are limited existing facilities for active transportation.

Everyone knows it as Highway 7, as such renaming it is fruitless.

I’m talking about the western part between Kipling and Islington.

I get that. But why not revert to the original names from before it became Highway 7? Bovaird and Queen St in Brampton are no longer called Highway 7.

How many people know the original names? I know I don't.

Also, I'm fairly certain Bovaird and Queen St were called Bovaird and Queen St, Brampton treated Highway 7 the same way Toronto treated Highway 11, by basically leaving it as a roadside marker. York Region did not have such an arrangement, it was just called Highway 7, and reverting it to a previous version would require looking at maps that are like 100 years old. There is no point.

400/Teston seems like an ideal location for a SPUI interchange. The surrounding built up area blocks the traditional Ontario Parclo's. Forcing an awkward interchange for the SB 400
