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. Photo taken: July 25th, 2004. |

| Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Regional Municipality of York |
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. Photo taken: September 22nd, 2012. |

Easterly view approaching the Ninth Line intersection. The only clue
that this road was ever maintained by the province stands in the guide

drive along Bloomington Road to Highway 404 in York Region. Photos taken: July 20th, 2012. |

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. Photo taken: July 20th, 2012. |

View looking east along Highway 47 approaching the Lake Ridge Road

Blade signage affixed to the traffic signal mast arm for Lakeridge Road.

traffic signal mast signage since this sign was erected -- no longer does
the region use all-caps in their signage. Photo taken: July 28th, 2012. |
