Our waterfront is under attack - again. This time it's Ontario Place. But there's something you can do about it! @ONPlace4All codeblueto.com/post/182372874… #onpoli #topoli #onplace4all
A petition that prioritizes the protection of #Toronto's beaches. chn.ge/1qlxvi3 #swimdrinkfish #Bluffs #recwaterTO
Over $1 billion to rebuild #GardinerEast, which works out to only a few million per car. #topoli
13. Q. for pro-#GardinerEast councillors: How much transit would $600m buy? Why is it better to spend that on an expressway? #topoli
12. If you want to increase transportation capacity, cars are a hugely inefficient tool. Transit wins, by far.
11. If anyone on #topoli council talks about how “essential” this expressway is, ask them: Why can’t a road, on the ground, do the job?
10. And the urban design of a central waterfront district, at the mouth of the river, is crucial to the city. Should be a showcase.
9. There is every reason to try and protect that district - the city has direct and indrect financial stakes in its success.
8. The port lands are where much of Toronto’s population growth is going to go. 40,000 residents, 1000s of jobs.
7. As urbanism: disastrous. Cities everywhere are removing dtwn hways because they’re blights. Vancouver: vancitybuzz.com/2015/09/viaduc…
6. As transportation policy - even if you see cars as essential - this makes no sense.
5. There’s lots of evidence that the benefit would be nil. theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/w…

What happens if you tear the Gardiner down? What New York can teach Toronto about urban renewal
When it comes to the Gardiner Expressway, Toronto’s most pressing question is whether to tear it down or keep it up. What if we didn’t have a choice? Ahead of a decision on the east Gardiner, Oliver...
4. So: This is $600m, or likely much more, to save time for .75% of commuters.
3. It is chronically under capacity, and the accompanying Lake Shore Blvd even more so.
2. This expressway carries about 3% of commuters into downtown Toronto.
1. Some thoughts on the #GardinerEast decision at Toronto City Council: #topoli
Take solace, Toronto. While subway & streetcar service is suspended downtown, it's clear sailing on #GardinerEast!
So, staff now recommending "hybrid 3" Gardiner East option that frees up more land but costs $1.053B (long-term) toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2…
Queen’s Quay is now a modern, attractive, economically-vibrant destination for local residents
