Part of the long term plan is to complete just that. The Silver Avenue Corridor. From Century to Sturgeon. Basically to connect CentrePort to the Polo Park area. It's outlined in the Master Transportation Plan, which can be found here:

It is identified as a long term goal. So prior to 2031 at a cost of $90M, which obviously seems low. It's also shown on the road network map, as below:
