This Photo shows the intersection of Highway 47 and Highway 48.  Highway 47 ended at this intersection.  Since being downloaded in 1998, all of Highway 47 through York Region, was simply re-designated as Bloomington Road, as it had been known before Highway 47 was realigned to Bloomington Road in the early 1990s.

The MTO had jurisdiction over this stretch of what has become Bloomington Sideroad for 5 years between 1993 and 1998.  The only improvement that was made to this road during their tenure was the addition of this left turn lane at Thornbay Drive, immediately east of Ninth Line.

Easterly view through Goodwood towards the level crossing with the York/Durham Heritage Railway line.  This railway line now truncates in Uxbridge, but formerly extended to Lindsay and beyond.  GO operates train service on this line from Lincolnville (near the intersection of Highway 47 and York/Durham Line) southerly.  Presumably the tracks were never lifted between Lincolnville and Uxbridge to facilitate an eventual extension of commuter rail service to Uxbridge.

Blade signage affixed to the traffic signal mast arm for Lakeridge Road.  This sign was erected by the Regional Municipality of Durham shortly after Highway 47 was transferred to the region.  The region has altered their traffic signal mast signage since this sign was erected -- no longer does the region use all-caps in their signage.
