What will the limits of the cycle path on Harbour Street be? Simcoe to Yonge? It's so close to Queen's Quay anyways.

I believe there are First Nations issues holding up some of those sections. And to be fair, is twinning Highway 69 really a high priority? The GTA has many more pressing needs (*cough* QEW through Mississauga).

407ETR widening between 410 and 427 is complete. Now built out to the full 5 lanes per direction.

Hopefully the section of road between York and Bay can be opened in advance of the rest of the work (possibly one month away?).

You are overthinking it. They will just run a convenient shuttle from the nearest station to Woodbine. If there's not enough interest/volume, they will just rely on TTC/drivers like they do currently.

What's wrong with it? They are improving the highway and essentially refurbishing it so it lasts another 50 years. There is a lot more to come: https://news.ontario.ca/mto/en/2017/04/widening-highway-401-to-keep-people-moving.html

It's the first contract of shifting/reconstructing the entire 401/Leslie Street interchange to the south, according to this article: https://www.insidetoronto.com/news-story/56228-hwy-401-overhaul-between-warden-and-leslie-in-planning-stages/

No point bemoaning the loss of what would be today $5M+ single family homes to connect downtown Toronto to the rest of the world (Gardiner/Lake Shore provides access between Airport & USA to downtown).

It's a shame in modern society/political climate we lost the willpower to demolish single family homes for the greater good (increased density/transportation needs).

Bit of an exaggeration there. It was about 50 homes that were sandwiched between the railway and Lake Shore. 1956: 1961:

Well the GTA is much much larger and more populated than all those US cities' greater metropolitan areas, so why are you surprised? Per citizen though, many of those cities have more freeways per person, which is not surprising as the GTA public transit is excellent compared to all of those...

Can place flex posts for the first year (until winter).

Speaking of that interchange, it was originally designed to incorporate the Richview Expressway. Note the "Brown's Line" SB to "Richview Expressway" EB directional ramp (vs loop ramp that was actually built) and the entire Richview/Martin Grove Interchange. The powers that be later decided to...

A lot of potential. Perhaps a preview of when the Gardiner East is converted to a "Grand Boulevard"?

Good luck getting an engineer to sign off on that terrible idea. Maybe in 30 years.

If we're talking just transportation, that award likely goes to 407ETR.

Are the bridges actually being rebuilt? Isn't the current construction related to the new E/W crossing of 404? http://www.york.ca/wps/portal/yorkhome/newsroom/news/highway404highway7interchangeimprovements/

Isn't the Gardiner East Hybrid 2+2?

Indeed! Will be anxiously awaiting the "final" shots taken next Summer after the inevitable delays when the project is complete with new ramp and Harbour Street widened to 4 lanes.

This must be on a faster schedule than Finch West LRT. They have not yet announced who will build Finch even though the teams were shortlisted in Feb 2016.
