Watch your head if your riding underneath on the Lakeshore.
The Gardiner is falling, the Gardiner is falling...

when?
when a big *** concrete block falls on a family stopped at a red light.
that is when they will do something about it.
im with you, it is no surprise that it needs to be fixed, so fix it.
the amount of taxes we pay, the roads should be in much much much better shape.
my 2 cents.

So true. The stupid thing is they spend the money to fix the SAME DAMN ROADS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I swear Brittania and Mavis has been under construction for 6 months, and I remember a couple years back, Central Parkway East of Mavis was done like three times in three years.

Thats Ontario's weather and traffic for you, claiming it's toll. Having been to many other countries with less travelled roads and a lot worse conditions, I don't complain.

Think about how long and costly the construction of the new bridges was around Jameson, then multiply that by about a thousand and you have a rough idea of the scale of this project.
They've been "patching" and "fixing" that crap for ages. But everybody knows there's really only one way to fix it. It's a colossal undertaking and its easy to cry "think of the children" but we have to pony up the cash for it and be prepared for years and years of completely f'ed up access into the city from the west end.

They had plans for a tunnle project running under lakeshore in that area, Im starting to think their waiting for it to get so bad so they can close the roads and finally get errr done !
A tunnel is about as dumb as the original elevated highway. Check with Boston about how well their big dig went and how much it cost.
We really need to think outside the box here.
Outside the Box? How about a Jet ferry service from Misery-saga to Island Airport ?
Jokes aside, yes its true, our climate makes for expensive to maintain roads and land bridges with heavy traffic and load limits usually cost the highest.
What Toronto should do is pass a big chunk of the costs to suburbia by charging a toll on users from Misery-saga, Brown-town and Hurlington. Its only fair. And if they do adopt this idea, they should leave the roads toll free for motorcycles since we suggested the original idea.
Kapishh !
Its not so much weather as it is ****** materials and worksmanship so that they will always have work by creating work.
Pave everything like the 407 for good results.

Or...we should move all the business that's left out of Tyranny-onto (since we're calling names here) out to the suburbs, watch your tax base crumble even more and we'd all have a short commute to work.
Then we could charge you all to come out to us for work! Brilliant!
FYI...Gardiner sucks both ways in the morning. It ain't just the suburbanites using it.
I love this idea!
