Friendly reminder that Metrolinx is massively increasing services on the Lakeshore West and Kitchener GO lines in April which are perfectly situated to pick up the slack. All day 15 minute service and trips that are reliably faster than driving, plus you can drive to the station and park if you hate the bus. Considering the timing of this it wouldn't surprise me if Metrolinx planned these service increases deliberately because they knew the construction would be bad. Shame that the CBC didn't bother mentioning these alternatives in this report honestly.
Thank god this is no longer my route.
Why did they wait until it was literally falling apart to do serious maintenance work? I still can’t believe they got rid of that exit just before it splits off to the Don Valley. Horrible city planning.
Because city just don't have money. Upload 2 highway to province gives them some room for project. Also, I blame all those city level welfare programs like injection centre
I'm glad I take the GO Train into and out of the city, traffic has become exponentially worse in over the last 15 years.
If only Toronto wasn't 30 years behind on it's subway system.
Why don't they run these project 24/7 to get them done in a fraction of the time. I'm certain the cost benefit analysis would ink out very favourably, cost to speed up the project vs societal savings to have it speed up.
because union guys dont want to work at night and if they do you'll have to pay them double..
because the highway passes through some of the densest neighborhoods in the country and because there is a perfectly viable alternative in the Lakeshore West, Milton and Kitchener GO lines, two of which are seeing massive service increases next month and the third (milton) is in the planning stages for dedicated tracks. The city and province already get crazy complaints from underground construction on Subway lines, 24/7 work above ground in downtown would raise hell.
I bet The Chinese can get this "3 Year" Project done before this summer LOL
Residents will complain about the noise as they already do with many projects
@@MrAlen6e
I think most residents would be more happy to have things done in a quicker fashion even if it means short term noise at night. It might even save some money in the long run when you add everything up.
Gardner is a nightmare. The construction will never end. It's already 4 yrs while the Gardner under construction. The Lakeshore overloaded with non-stop traffic.
The pavement is not look like surface. The roads are entire pot holes.
There is no hope for the improvements from the Olivia Chow.
The whole City in the state of CONSTRUCTION. Non of the started projects are completed.
The 90% of money will be spent on the housing...
It's a reality
this roger brown guy has a really nice hair
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Someone's getting some pomade for their birthday!
Good thing we have those bike lanes. 🤦🏾♂️
Traveled this hwy through the 70/80/90's and into the 2000's, 3 or 4 times that roadway had a complete make over and I'm glad I'm not part of it ever again. Just a guy with a veggy garden and a hammock now.
I'm so glad to never have to go to downtown Toronto. Canadian politicians seem to have a bad case of Planning Deficit Disorder.
Finally! I can't wait to see our beloved Toronto in the Guinness Records as having the longest parking lot in the world!
Lmao 😅
Maintaining road infrastructure is really costly. Why dont we have a metro line instead of this roadway??
look I'd love to take a subway but A) it doesn't go anywhere I need to go B) people really can't choose where they live anymore. I'd move closer to work if I wouldn't price myself out of the damn city.
You know whats more costly is not having road infrastructure. You need both public transportation and quality road infrastructure, its vital to the economy which in turn helps provides goods and services to the public.
@@gtc969 The Gardiner Expressway is clearly not needed.
Time to discover the GO train or subway instead of driving.
Easy for you to say
@@darylwizzard5832 Even if you're far from the city, you can park at a GO station and take the train downtown. I know people who commute from all over who do that.
@@darylwizzard5832 Metrolinx is massively increasing service on the Lakeshore West and Kitchener GO lines in April (plus the Milton line that runs through Missisauga city center will also be getting frequent all day service hopefully around the same time this project will be completed). Suburban stations have massive parkades and (usually) decent enough local buses as well. There has never been a better time to make the switch. Subway on the other hand I do have to agree unfortunately. The TTC needs better leadership.
Our amazing 2 lines of subway that only go east west and north south lmao
I have tried. transit is not at all reliable. I have not seen one on time bus in about 2 years. I went for TTC training for contractors one day and decided to take transit and left early and still showed up 15 minutes late. Take a bike you say? I'd rather not get killed because there is no policing of the constant insane reckless driving. I barely want to drive unless it's 3 in the morning.
This just in for our news update!
We interviewed one of the suspects who is involved with car theft in the city
This is what it has to say
"We thieves appreciate the gesture, and thank you for the keys
In the city of raptors, we will make histories
You know what we're after, and you might even discover that our people are at their prime when they signed up for the membership
Thank you for the notifications. we now know which route to take and the necessary action to get the items to our place
Before it is ship and packaged with the rest of our inventories
We once again thank you for helping us make our customers happy"
Very easy fix during the construction. Take the bike lanes and finish all construction on Adelaide and Richmond Street. Make the duration of Traffic lights longer like minutes or two . People will leave the city so fast . Also finish construction remove bike lanes on Bathurst Street and younge Street . You won't even notice the construction.
For those whose jobs can be done remotely, WFH! Don't put more stress to the road and traffic! Those who absolutely need to work in-person will thank you!
The work needs to be done regardless
Bunch of whiners here, what else are they going to do? The structure of the Gardiner is crumbling, they have to fix it somehow. What else can they do? Let's hear solutions and instead of people whining about it. Which is not going to solve the problem.
Build another hwy above it. Then fix the old one,and at the end the gardener will be updated to the current year.
My solution is to tear down the existing Gardiner and build a brand new one. Not just one deck, but THREE DECKS HIGH. The first deck would perform the same function as now and allow people to drive downtown and get off on various downtown streets as needed. The second deck would be a true expressway where there's NO ACCESS to downtown and is meant for people who want to drive east-west crosstown and aren't looking to access downtown. Now people who simply want to use the Gardiner to go through downtown can do so quickly.
The third deck could be a pedestrian park similar to New York's Highline Park so that people can have access to a park several stories up and enjoy the views of Toronto while getting some exercise. This third deck could be optional and if you want to save money then cut it, but I think it'd be cool to have such a park in the heart of the city so that both locals and tourists can go and enjoy it.
Toronto needs renovation.
There are potholes everywhere.
Roads are smaller.
And the traffic is increasing.
Gangs, and drugs are everywhere.
I need to have a sit-down with that guy's barber.
The dreamer in me wishes the gardiner would be completely torn down, or made into a tunnel.. however the realist in me knows that either option requires huge sums of money, and a level of transit improvements and urban planning capabilities that are nowhere near being feasible for at least another decade...
winter and construction!! these are our only seasons!!
It will be a huge daily traffic jam. I don't even drive
if they had out this eye sore underground, like they did in Boston in the late 70's (it took them 10 years ) none of this would be a problem and they could have utilized all the valuable real estate
Do they still have cars ?
Is it Gardiner construction or a decrepit city owned bridge reconstruction over the provincial highway?
It should be rerouted north of the city.
Gridlock just got a huge upgrade in Toronto. 2027 doesn’t stand a chance…
imagine all the corrosion on the CONDOS that butt up sad sad sad
I said take the gardener underground
Toronto is already the 3 rd worst city in the world for traffic and pollution . Doug Ford wants more roads , more pollution and traffic
Brain dead comment. Its more costly not having road infrastructure. You need both public transportation and quality road infrastructure, its vital to the economy which in turn can be used to further fund public transportation. Your doing a good of promoting ideology that exaserbates the current issues though.
Wow glad I don't need to take that highway
It should have been done long time ago.
And would've this statement change?
This city is messed up
You’d rather have a crumbling highway? Are you ok?
My prediction: if they say the project will be finished in 2027 that means at least 2030..., if they say the price of the project is $300 mln it is easy to guarantee they will have to end up with at least a $1 bln... The funniest thing is they start the project and yet to decide where the money comes from. But if it was possible to hire a Chinese company with Chinese labor, the project would be finished... overnight. 😊
Yeah, I'm not going to Toronto until 2028
yeah, one more lane would fix it, car-addict-nation
it's the only way to get across the city in a reasonable time frame, public transit will take you 2 to 3 times longer minimum
Hey man, if safe bike lanes and actual reliable transit existed in this city I would use them and I did at one time. I'd move closer to my new work if I could but I will be immediately priced out of the city and I'm a field engineer with a masters degree and 20 years experience. One lane makes a huge difference. So many god damned trucks from the cherry st construction of a damn bike bridge it takes me 25 minutes just to get on to the gardiner. If I could I would but basically this city is telling me it is not worth my time... car thefts that aren't addressed, shootings that aren't addressed, insane driving (and that includes the cyclists) that is not addressed, housing situation that is not addressed, transit situation that is not addressed, and the list goes on and on and on and on. Give me a way to have some options here and I will take them, but there are none.
Can't afford to have all these moochers driving into town for free and public funds go to rebuilding this glorified open air sewer
I mean, until they fix the horrendous public transportation in Toronto, hell yeah! I will be gladly driving, no matter how much traffic I face. Better than dealing with crazy people on TTC.
I used to be one of those moochers driving in. I’d spend my money in the shops and restaurants, use none of the services, and leave with an empty wallet. Don’t worry, I don’t come in anymore, you’re free of my mooching.
@@josephsmith594 well done, sounds like you were living beyond your means. Next step is to stop living beyond the rest of our means.
@@gabrieldomocos7570 You’re not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?
@@josephsmith594 Glad we will no longer have to deal with your traffic in the city anymore.
