In the rural countryside along the western fringes of the City of Mississauga, Ontario, a curious landscape has taken shape over the past three years. Today, as motorists sweep around a long-radius, right-angle curve on controlled-access highway 403, their eyes are drawn to a scene that is almost surrealistic. Great grey bridges spanning nothing stand up awkwardly without approach ramps. Verdant rights-of-way lie scattered about and segments of concrete ditches begin and end nowhere. Mixed in with this scene is a mellow red-and-buff brick farmhouse. It is a complex landscape demonstrating the rapidly maturing status of heritage conservation in the Province of Ontario.
