"What strikes me about the continuing trend to build right up to the expressway’s walls is that, soon, the argument for tearing it down will all but disappear, as the marriage between public infrastructure and private space begins to look more like Le Corbusier’s 90-year-old plans for modern cities with elevated roadways. Speaking of which, I next find myself encircled by the York Street off-ramp in a lacklustre park with a dozen trees, one pathway and five light standards. This could be so much better: Contained within a steel and asphalt spiral, why not allow artists and landscapers to create a whimsical, circular park? Why not hold a competition?"
Is that the off-ramp slated for demolition?
