Sure. If your point is that we all pay a price to some extent then I would agree. But I was replying to someone who specifically said that all transit routes are affected by traffic, which isn't true.

New Video out from WT on the planting program.
Not a lot of new info for regulars to the thread, but a couple worthwhile pics and a one pretty decent explainer on a particular technique:

Not surprised with the May and June 2023 opening of the new road system and bridges, as it what I saw late year as well this year that an 2023 date was needed.
No idea what the hold up is on the eastbound bridge, other than the forming the west pier has yet to take place. The east pier was finish some weeks ago and the centre should be done by now. The fabricator of the bridge is behind schedule as well getting material for it could be another reason for the delay.
Some areas are ahead of schedule, but most behind schedule

It will be interesting to see how city of Toronto is coordinating it, with rebuild off Ramp to Jarvis (shorting to Yonge st)

Unbelievable project, really astonishing what they've done... already better than any render porn. Amazing drone tour and they haven't even turned the tap on yet.
Guess you can tell I'm rather gob-smacked despite viewing every one of the almost daily updates and drone videos.
I see lots of hardware (awards
) in the future.

they are not removing existing Jarvis ramp before building new ramp, already a nightmare going to the east end

If the concrete roadbed in the downtown section (York to Jarvis) is as bad as the concrete on the bents is in that section, the whole thing will be total chaos as I suspect the whole road may need to be closed or, at least, one side at a time like the Jarvis to Cherry section.
