Heh, fair enough.
Personally I would like for there to be a will in this city to think and dream big when it comes to the Gardiner. I'd love to see it replaced with a new and majestic elevated express way befitting the world class city that Toronto aspires to be, I want a landmark. I personally enjoy driving through the heart of Toronto on the Gardiner between all the skyscrapers, and I am certain I am not alone in that regard. Driving into Toronto from the airport along the QEW/Gardiner is something tourists often remark on. The real issue however is that the Gardiner is falling apart, simply maintaining it isn't a long-term viable solution and implementing a grande boulevard is second-rate and lethargic.
Now obviously the costs of a massive venture such as a brand new elevated express way would have a prohibitive price-tag for the city and we would need outside help and that right there is where and why it is so important for us to think and dream big. If we showed the province and the rest of Canada that we are serious about a brand new elevated express way, then they will have to seriously consider it.
