Ya I get that, it was meant as a bit of Fraud Nation joke. (The Star's full of car-hating, transit-taking latte sippers, blah blah blah)
Seriously though, does anyone find it funny Waterfront Toronto was involved in this study? Their mandate is to improve the waterfront. Even I don't need a study to come to this conclusion. Obviously removing the Gardiner improves the waterfront. But the Gardiner's impact to the entire city should be thought of. Also, with the Gardiner gone, Waterfront TO has more land to sell/develop and it will be worth more. It seems it could be perceived they have alterior motives in this study.
Also, on a side note, this will be red meat for Fraud Nation, I'm worried Ford may get a 'bump' in support if city council supports removal.
