how about figuring out a way to fix the pillars and underbelly so that it isnt crumbling every 2 years. Maybe this Is magic paint that will keep this thing together?
 
The report on Downtown Priority Parks was before Executive Ctte today was approved, with Amendments.

The amendments serve to add expansion of 'The Bentway' as a priority project; and also seek to advance University Park, in part, by breaking into manageable chunks.....
Curiously, though, the suggestion is to start at the north end of University Park (Queen's Park Crescent West ???)

The future of the Under Gardiner​



​


In partnership with the City of Toronto, The Bentway is developing the Under Gardiner Public Realm Plan (PRP) to outline how the Expressway - from Dufferin to the DVP - can evolve to better serve our city.

Following 8 months of community and stakeholder consultation, we’re excited to reveal the Plan’s emerging recommendations and opportunities.

On Tuesdays from January 17 to February 7, come join us at an interactive Open House to learn how we are re-imagining the Under Gardiner together.
