Correct me if I’m wrong, but little would have been built north of 401. In that case, 401 really would have been a Toronto Bypass. And then the towns along Steeles Avenue might have combined to be the city of York instead.

Speaking of York, I’m more interested in this: What if Mike Marris didn’t sell 407?
