To complement the upcoming issue we&#8217;ve organized a panel that takes place tonight &#8212; in partnership with the Harbourfront Centre&#8217;s Viewpoints series &#8212; that asks, &#8220;What to do with the Gardiner Expressway?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the panel will be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookmcilroy.com\/people_fs.htm\">Calvin Brook<\/a>, architect of Brook McIlroy, who wrote an essay in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.era.on.ca\/concretetoronto\/\"><em>Concrete Toronto<\/em><\/a> about how to reinvent the Gardiner. Brook argues that the barrier effect ascribed to the Gardiner is misplaced; the barrier is a result of neglect of the space beneath, &#8220;a blind spot in our collective understanding of civic space in the city.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The other panelist is Jose Gutierrez, the creator of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toviaduct.com\/Home.html\">Toronto Waterfront Viaduct<\/a> plan. Spacing has <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/?page_id=1244\">written about this plan<\/a> before. We&#8217;re excited to hear the developments of Gutierrez&#8217;s plan since we last heard from him.<\/p>\n<p>Spacing publisher Matthew Blackett will moderate the discussion. We&#8217;ll ask attendees to give us their opinions on the Gardiner from 8pm onward.
