I remember going on a Jane's Walk for Gardiner East, and someone was going around advocating for decking the existing Gardiner with a Beltline Trail. I dismissed it as absurd.
This, however, I could get behind. Particularly if the adjacent private development could be leveraged for some of the capital outlay.
I agree. There is such interesting potential with this idea. I imagine new condo's on Lakeshore could back onto the park above the Gardiner and Berm. Residents of these condo's would be directly connected to a parkway. At street level it would mean a redesigned Lakeshore could have condo's and businesses on both sides of the road. This approach increases the value of these properties and makes the whole idea more saleable. I'll be interested to see where this goes.
