The fact that Mammoliti, and the rest, want to widen Lakeshore proves they never walk: Lakeshore is the barrier to Queen’s Quay. I don’t have to take my life in my hands to walk under the Gardiner, do I? I need to do so to cross Lakeshore. It makes me wonder if they own condos with Gardiner-views they want to improve the value of…
Shrugs greet historic… great.
It’s the ramps to the Gardiner which cause the greatest problems, releasing a huge volume of vehicular traffic that becomes the critical mass.
