The $1 million, seven-volume report was released this morning to the <em>Star<\/em> as part of a freedom of information request.<\/p>\n<p>The partial tearing down of the elevated expressway would &#8220;improve the quality of place&#8221; and is less costly than removing the entire Gardiner.<\/p>\n<p>There are three suggested methods to replacing the torn-down section, but waterfront officials favour a 10-lane surface street with wide sidewalks and a generous median between Spadina and Cherry.<\/p>\n<p>It would diverge into two five-lane, one-way streets in the section between Simcoe and Jarvis Sts.<\/p>\n<p>The report acknowledges the basic cost would be about $490 million and would slow traffic more than other options. It recommends that this option be the starting point for an environmental assessment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Photo from the Toronto Star<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>To leave a comment, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/votes\/?p=96\">Spacing Votes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cross-posted to Spacing Votes The report that details the future of the Gardiner Expressway was released today.
