So where do the cars go tha use it daily or how big do you want lake shore to become? Taking down the Gardiner is not a solution to any problems if there isn't as suitable replacement for it, if we are serous about taking it down we need to look at what Boston did an bury it under the lakeshore getting rid of iot without a replacement will just mean more traffic on city streets that are already full.
I know the poel that seem to think that putting bike lanes everywhere and improving transit will make ploe stop driving but what about the ppel from out of town that don't have access to all of that.
Clearly they should not live out of town.
Or just no one should own cars and everyone should ride bikes or take public transit everywhere like the ideal Utopia that they seem will happen at some point in Toronto.
Yes I have that's why I said taking down the gadier is bad idea because many people from outside of Toronto use it. I myself don't drive but I see no reason to tear down the gardener with out a replacement that can equal the car traffic on it.
Did you read the EA, I suspect not and maybe you should. Taking down the eastern end of the Gardiner and replacing it with a boulevard would have been far cheaper and would have caused minimal traffic slowdowns.
Why should I read an EA for something I'm against I don't think we need to take down any part of the gardner and replace it with the grand boulevard that people seem to dram will make Traffic disappear and it will become a wonderful place to walk and it will be great to be able to get down to the lake and harbor front all because the Gardner is gone.
Good because every time tearing it down gets mentioned there isn't any relly good alternative to replace it except for putting it in a tunnel like they did in Boston but everyone is sacred of how expensive that project became they don't want to do it plus there's the continuing example of San Francisco tearing one down and not replacing it. The ar are majopr difrnces bewteem all of the elevated Free ways in cities and many reason why they should be either torn down or maintained but if they are being torn down for the sake of tearing it down and not receiving the the road with the same amount of capacity it's useless. It would be like putting stop lights on the 401 if we took the Gardier down and just had everyone use the lakeshore to get across the south end of the city.
A rational person would read the EA to learn the pros and cons of the options and be able to argue properly for an option that they feel is correct. The fact that you are against the east Gardiner demolition is fine, I would have more respect for your opinion if you had actually analysed the options.
