Toronto Lower Simcoe Ramp | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

Gorgeous. Is it two lanes wide? One north, one south?

You have not been paying attention, it's an exit ramp

Four. One is a right turn lane to go south, the other 3 lanes go straight east on Harbour St. There are no left turns permitted to go north.

Why does the south lane have a bump out of it like that. Seems bizarre to me.

Because unlike what people above are saying, there will only be 3 lanes + shoulder lane. While shoulder is technically a lane, it will end before the intersection in order to prevent people from using it as a real lane.

November 15 - Siva cells are finished Bay side and the York ones are being installed

 

[DSCToronto]

Must say I am a bit surprised that they are still putzing around on south side of Harbour Street between York and Bay and have done nothing yet on north side. I am assuming that sooner than later they will be moving traffic onto new south side lanes so that they can dig up the north side and re-do it. I think that it should be quite fast to do as I do not think there are many (any?) trees planned for north side.

I presume they will open it at Simcoe first?

I'm guessing they'll wait until all the road works are ready, otherwise you'll have a ton of traffic dumped onto Simcoe.

How long until that massive parking garage at Simcoe/Harbour is redeveloped? Anyone know who owns it?

It was a Mulroney government infrastructure project in like 1985/86 in the days when Harbourfront used to get dollops of federal cash for capital projects. No idea who is the current owner.

I thought it, like the surface lot at Rees, was owned by Harbourfront.

That is it then. There is still a Harbourfront Corp. Wasn’t sure how that was related to Waterfront Toronto.

They are completely separate Corporations. See www.harbourfrontcentre.com and www.waterfrontoronto.ca

Looking at the ramp today, everything is finally paved, but a lot of concrete sidewalk and curbs to be built. There is no footings for new traffic lights to the south of the off ramp yet, as well the the off ramp.

The current road markings will have to be removed so they can be moved south of the off ramp.

Was planning to go to York St today, but showing someone the city, we went north on Simcoe.
