Easterly view across the Rouge River bridge
towards the Roddick Road intersection. Markham Town Centre (the
intersection between Highway 7 and Warden Avenue) has an impressive array of
brand new (as of 2010) condominium towers. IBM has a large campus
along Warden Avenue just south of Highway 7, and Markham has a considerable
amount of high-tech industry within its borders. Photo taken: October 9th, 2010 |

This view looks westerly towards the Roddick
Road intersection. Roddick Road is a new north-south arterial street
in Western Markham that serves as a local alternate to Woodbine and Warden
Avenue's. A structure was built in 2008 to carry Roddick Road overtop
of Highway 407. Photo taken: October 9th, 2010. |

Westerly view along Highway 7 from just west of
Warden Avenue. Despite the new urban buildings that have been erected
surrounding the Warden Avenue intersection, Highway 7 has never been
upgraded to an urban cross-section. In fact, Highway 7 even lacks
sidewalks. This cross-section does not reflect York Region's position
of trying to remake Highway 7 into a pedestrian friendly multi-use corridor. Photo taken: October 9th, 2010. |

Westerly view approaching the Warden Avenue
intersection. The intersection of Warden Avenue and Highway 7 is being

Downtown Markham is still very much a suburban intersection. Photo taken: October 9th, 2010. |

Easterly view of Highway 7 approaching the Main
Street intersection. Note the old rounded "cobra-head" style street
light that appears on the south (right) side of the highway. This
light standard design was common on non freeway roads build in the 1960s and
early 1970s. The 1963 widened Highway 6
between Highway's 5 and 403 was lit with similar light standards before it
was reconstructed in the 2000s. Photo taken: April 10th, 2010. |

View looking westerly approaching the Main
Street intersection. When MTO controlled this intersection, left turn
movements were controlled by a fully protected left turn. Upon

removed, and replaced by a permissive left turn phase. Photo taken: April 10th, 2010. |

View looking westerly towards the

View looking down the hill into Green
River. Though it isn't particularly visible in this photo, the West
Duffins Creek bridge, which appears at the bottom of this large valley was
recently rehabilitated and now features steel railings, a la Northern
Ontario. To my knowledge, this is the fist instance of steel barriers being
used on a provincial bridge in Southern Ontario since the late 1960s. Photo taken: October 9th, 2010. |

View looking easterly along Highway 7 towards
Brougham. Highway 7 is a bit of a forgotten highway between Markham and

Area that wasn't downloaded in 1998; and hasn't been upgraded since the 1980s. Photo taken: October 9th, 2010. |
