Bring in a Asian firm with Asian workers and it would take only 5 months.
Gardner construction could take as long as TWENTY YEARS.

But the concrete would be clay and the rebar would be lead.

Actually my relatives made the rebar into crow bars and built a 3 story stone and concrete house. Actually a nice place and even had indoor plumbing.
It's the government
if there even exists the remote possibility of a way, to have something worse than it currently is, they WILL find a way.

Urbanization: the true measure of progress.
Something Canada is miles behind on compared to other developed nations.
It's absolutely disgusting.
If the sovereigns won't do it, the Chinese will - Then this country won't be the part of the commonwealth anymore (which may not be so bad).

I just saw this re the PanAm games. Seriously??? I hope people don't bank on getting between events on time.

Located just east of downtown Toronto, the Village is within 45 minutes of most Games venues and less than 25 minutes from the airport. All Village facilities in use during the Parapan American Games will be fully accessible and provide a barrier-free environment.

They're keeping it 2 lanes the whole way to calm traffic. If it opened up to 3 lanes where there was no work going on at that particular moment then back down to 2 it would cause chaos when the I'm-more-important-than-you drivers started jockeying for position at the next bottleneck.
In the beginning the eastbound, at least, did open up and then close off again. I thought I was going to witness a 6 car pile-up with deaths.
It now takes me 50 minutes, on average, to get from Yonge and Dundas onto the Gardiner. When I started working downtown, roughly 15 years ago, that was the duration of my entire trip at rush hour.

Who needs urbanization when you GOTS LAND!!!!
I say businesses need to give serious consideration to using TECHNOLOGY (I know. Right??) to facilitate employees working from home.
I'm shooting from the hip here, but I bet at least 50% of all downtown jobs don't actually need to be done by employees via physical presence.

No doubt, opening and closing that lane would slow things down even more. I was just wondering if there's any work done past Jameson. There was no one at all past Jameson.

Not that easy....any publicly funded jobs in Toronto need to utilize union labour...so any big firm that comes in from overseas is shocked at the labour costs here.
Tory's announcement is that current Gardiner construction will be done 2 months ahead of schedule, depending on the weather this winter

Any ideas what this is all about? So instead of 20 years, it's going to be 19 years and 10 months?
It was supposed to be something like a total of 16 months. Now it's 14. It'll open up completely something like 2 months before the Pan Am Games, so just in time to close again.
Don't they mean destruction?
That seems to be what Council has been after since it took that left turn at the junction years and years ago.
There are probably constant noise complaints from the wall of condos lining the Expressway.
I'm not sure how they're going to get full access to some of the tight areas.

Yesterday I had an appointment in the core, and I ended up driving in on the Gardiner during rush hour.
I don't understand how any of you do it right now, I just about lost my mind driving it the ONE TIME.

There was one collision today, blocking one lane on The Gardiner at Jameson. As a result it took me 40 minutes to get from the York Street on ramp to the Spadina on ramp.
