To fall or not to fall? The East Gardiner Expressway has attracted much attention and debate. I've decided that this debate has created two segregations - people vs cars, congestion vs economic development. At the end of the day we need evaluate what exactly our city is built for. The highest and best use of that land could definitely be improved. The economic growth that Toronto could experience by tearing it down could exceed 500 million (conservatively)and it would remove the barrier Toronto has with the water front. In the link I included, it shows what Toronto would look like without the Gardiner Expressway, and the potential it could bring. Keeping a world-class city mind set, I agree that the Gardiner should fall. CityBuilders quote With the right decision on the Gardiner East, these areas collectively have the potential to provide thousands of new ownership and rental residential units, extensive affordable housing, new cultural landmarks, parks, schools and a substantial number of jobs...
Any thoughts?
