Removal of the Gardiner east of the Don has been a positive transformation. I agree that the stretch of the Gardiner between Jarvis and the DVP carries more traffic, but removing it only adds a few minutes to drivers' commutes, yet it is a much cheaper option than the Gardiner Hybrid with significant benefits for reconnecting the the city to the lake and creating important north-south gateways to the Port Lands. When I first visited Boston long before the Big Dig, I didn't think of venturing from Faneuil Hall downtown to the historic North End. Now the two neighborhoods seem so much more connected. In the space where an elevated expressway stood is an outdoor market, swing chairs, walkways, and canopies. Is it worth so much to us to maintain an elevated expressway where there's so much possibility? And we're going to collect tolls to add insult to injury.
