Major Mackenzie Drive
Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAJ : Major Mackenzie Drive
Major Mackenzie Drive is a major east-west arterial road in southern York Region, Ontario, Canada. The road was formerly a rural road, but with growth in York Region expanding beyond Highway 7, the road is now heavily travelled and becoming more of an urban throughfare.
The road was laid out during the planning by early settlers in the region to divide the land into farms. Much of the farmland is now gone, as residential development expands in York Region towards the north. Environmentalist and urban planners want the region and province to halt the development of land north of the street and in particular to the wellbeing of the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Streets to the north and south of Major Mackenzie Drive:
- 19th Avenue
- 16th Avenue
- Elgin Mills Road
- Highway 7
- Highway 407
- 14th Avenue
- Steeles Avenue
