April 16, 2015 – With the environmental assessment phase
complete, City of Toronto officials are now presenting the community with three
options for the future of the eastern portion of the Gardiner Expressway.
According to a report from CBC Toronto, public consultations
on the options will take place over the next few months, with a final report
being presented to City Council on June 21st.
The point of contention is the last 1.7km of the Gardiner
Expressway, the main artery running between the city’s downtown core and Lake
Ontario. The stretch of road handles approximately 5,500 cars and trucks during
peak morning rush hours.
The three options being presented are based on maintaining
the current structure, removing the current structure, as well as a hybrid
option. The three options are costed based on initial work and the 100-year
life cycle of the roadway put in place.
