Agree with both of you! As much as I'd love to see the Gardiner torn down as quick as possible, we can't move forward until we have a DRL or some form of proper transit infrastructure!
This isn't a problem.
The increased all day GO service alone will easily offset any lost transportation capacity from the demolition of the Gardiner several times over.
In the next few years, we'll have Automatic Train Control on our YUS Subway, adding even more capacity to the transportation network in the area.
And the Relief Line looks like it will be opening around 2022 (still needs to be finalized), mere years after the Gardiner East comes down.
Even a simple streetcar line on Lakeshore would easily offset lost road capacity
