  • Zoning: Low density residential and commercial from Steeles Avenue to Major Mackenzie Drive East and from Mahoney Avenue to Lake Drive East, future high density residential and commercial is beginning to go up in Downtown Markham, as Kennedy forms its eastern boundary. Lots of farmland and forests between Mahoney Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive East.
  • Additional Information: Kennedy Road is cut off between Davis Drive and Herald Road, due to the Pheasant Run Golf Club. Currently, there are plans to widen the south Markham section of Kennedy from 4 to 6 lanes, to accommodate the traffic Downtown Markham will bring. In the 1990s, Kennedy Road was realigned at Steeles Avenue to connect the broken section, and was realigned east 300m between Highway 407 and 16th Avenue. The road was named for the Kennedy family, one of the many early farming settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
