Compare the 2004 aerial photo above to this 1953 aerial photo taken by the Department of Highways shortly after Hwy 400 opened. Urban sprawl has completely devoured rural lands in this part of York Region since the early 1990s. This photo comparison provides us with a very sad and sobering reminder of the environmental costs of development and urbanization. (Photograph taken on May 30, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) |
