Is there a source for the proposed exits listed (north of Sandlewood of course)? Or are these interchanges just based on speculation? If there is a proper source, it should be posted at the botton of the page. Thanks --149.99.202.182 20:37, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Up to Hurontario - based on the official plans. After that, an old Orangeville plan indicated those exits, along with an interchange at Peel Road 24 (old Highway 24) (also can be seen on the Highway 10 page on www.onthighways.com) and the rest are speculation, but they are the major intersections. Also, There were old drawings planned by the previous Conservative government to extend to at least Highway 89, but that was never funded (source: Linda Jeffrey, MPP Brampton Centre).

Orphaned references in Ontario Highway 410

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ontario Highway 410's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "2010 mapart":

• From Ontario Highway 405: Ontario Back Road Atlas (Map). Cartography by MapArt. Peter Heiler. 2010. p. 19. § R34–35. ISBN 978-1-55198-226-7.
• From Ontario Highway 2A: MapArt 2010
• From Don Valley Parkway: Ontario Back Road Atlas (Map). Cartography by MapArt. Peter Heiler Ltd. 2010. ISBN 978-1-55198-226-7.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:34, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Ontario Highway 410/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Grondemar (talk · contribs) 16:08, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

This article in general looks good; I have a few concerns that need to be addressed before the review can be passed:

• It's a little confusing that the Route description runs south-to-north, while the Exit list runs north-to-south. Is there a way to get the two sections running in the same direction?
• "From this point north to Bovaird Drive, the two highways were concurrent." Aren't they still concurrent?
• "Ernie Eves" who is that? The name is thrown into the beginning of a paragraph with no explanation on who is this and why they are important.
• It would be nice if the bare URLs in the citations could be cleaned up, either using citation templates or by hand.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   This GAN is placed on hold for a minimum of seven days to allow the above concerns to be addressed.

Thanks. –Grondemar 16:31, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the review! Regarding your first point, both flow from south to north (Highway 401 is at the southern end, and at the northern end is Highway 10) I've reworded the sentence for the second point, but essentially Highway 7 was made concurrent with the highway in the 1980s, but then decommissioned through Brampton in 1997 (although, for some reason the signs are still there on the freeway for both 7 and 410). The last point I still have to address; will respond again when I've dealt with it. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 18:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

You are absolutely right on the first point; don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. Thanks for the prose improvements; I made one further copyedit. Let me know when the sources are cleaned up and I'll pass the review. –Grondemar 19:07, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Alright, sources are all filled out. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 03:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup, and sorry for taking a while getting back to this. I have now passed this good article nomination. Congratulations! –Grondemar 02:50, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

GTA West Corridor & Effects on Highway 410

In September 2019, the GTA West Corridor EA put out this PDF of preferred interchange locations, including an extension of Highway 410. Should I mention this now or should I wait until the EA is approved by the province before adding this as a new Future section? Username⁶⁸⁹² 13:26, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
