Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto have announced of resumption of work on the Gardiner Expressway / Lake Shore Boulevard Reconfiguration Environmental Assessment (EA) and Integrated Urban Design Study. The public is being asked for input on the future of the eastern section of the often controversial roadways.

The specific area in question runs roughly from Jarvis Street in the west to east of the Don Valley Parkway. The Enviromental Study will will focus on four main options for the expressway: Improving, Maintaining, Removing, or Replacing the aging the structure. Much of the Enviromental Assessment will  focus on holding public consultation with local residents, Aboriginal groups, Government agencies and other interested parties.
