And you plan on paying for the burying of the Gardiner how, exactly? With the magical fairy and the magic money tree?
There are realists on UT, not just people who have all these fantasies but no way to put them into action. Do you know how much it cost Boston to bury their highways? There are much better solutions to do with the Gardiner than expensively burying it.
The Gardiner isn't even as much of a barrier as people are saying and whining about.. The REAL barrier separating the downtown from the lake are the tracks.
Roughly 22 billion. Though the Gardiner will most probably cost cheaper. And every single Bostonian i've spoken to said in the end it's a lot better of a space. Yes it's an expensive project and i agree with you that the rail tracks are a bigger problem. However, you don't shoot a person down and call them a clow just because they brought up the suggestion. But that's what everyone here does. When the student came out with a plan to build a park on top of the gardiner he was ridiculed. For what? For thinking outside the box. But that's life in Toronto, big plans die because too many small minds.
