Peel Regional Road 7

Peel Regional Road 7

Peel Regional Road 7or locally known as Airport Road is a major thoroughfare in Ontario, Canada especially in the Greater Toronto Area. The road was originally called Sixth Line and likely named Airport Road sometime after Malton Airport was built.

It runs through the Peel Regional Municipality, Dufferin County, and Simcoe County, creating a route bypassing many of the major communities along the adjacent routes Highway 10 or former Highway 50 towards Georgian Bay.

It begins at Highway 427 and Toronto's Dixon Road at the main entry (Highway 409) of Toronto Pearson International Airport, then follows the former Toronto Township Concession 6 (East of Hurontario Street) alignment north-west through Malton within the city of Mississauga. It enters Brampton, south of Steeles Avenue, and Highway 407 (exit 53).

In Peel County, this road also served as a dividing line between townships. Albion, and Gore Townships were east of Caledon, Chingacousy and Toronto Township respectively. Later, Toronto Township acquired the Gore lands south of Steeles Avenue that became much of the urban area of Malton, Ontario, also known as Toronto Gore. The remainder of Gore Township became part of Brampton in 1974, and Albion was added to Caledon at the same time.

Recently, many new housing developments have been built off Airport Road, such as the Vales and Highlands of Castlemore. These are mainly executive homes, however, small crimes have been performed in the young area, such as robbery and drug abuse. Within the month of January four fires have also broken out in the area, two of which have been deemed sucipicious. Fact|date=June 2008
