stupid question
everybody has an opinion
In the news T.O. , city hall is discussing our east - west lakeshore arterial , called the Gardiner Xpressway. BTW . to some , express is not a word that they would use in reference to the Gardiner.
Two major higher speed multi lane arterials cross the city E - W.
Across the top , we have the highway 401. In Ontario , the 400 series of numbers , denotes highways , all are 60 mph.
The Gardiner is elevated and blocks the view of the lake and is also a physical barrier to development. The issue is whether to remove the eastern portion of the Gardiner.
Why ? better view and an eye to developing people friendly alternatives to the concrete
Why not ? are you crazy , drivers already tear their hair out waiting on the Gardiner CARS RULE in this city
I must drive , get out of my way
My take : someone is going to make a mint on kickbacks if the Gardiner is taken down and a development goes in - the money is in the bank , now.
Traffic , no planner relying on government approval is ever going to build enough road space to satisfy drivers.
Kevin Costner said ' if you build it they will come '
I say " they are coming anyway , you'll never have enough '
Weather : its patio time for sure , dryer conditions and sun
Rain follows on Mon - Tues
Still waiting for the decision on my claim for the UK fender scraper incident
