Hey, that's unfair, going from 2009 to 2017 is too large of a jump, you need one in between.a neat little before-after from Google Maps. 2009 vs. 2017:

In addition, Robinson announced automation initiatives adopted by the city, namely on the Yonge-Bay-York ramp that is being reconstructed and replaced with the Simcoe ramp. When the ramp opens in 2018, it will feature the first ever automated de-icing system, embedded into the infrastructure itself.
“(The system) allows staff to simply hit a button from a remote location to fully de-ice this ramp” she said.
Strange. My nephew just failed his driving test in Etobicoke for this reason. Waited for a pedestrian to cross 3 lanes plus the median and then started to turn left. Was told he had to wait for the pedestrian to cross all 6 lanes before he could turn left and failed.
I guess the tester must have been on a power trip. Next stop for my nephew is Peterborough or some other smaller city.
Thought there was an "automated de-icing system" on that ramp? See link.
Maybe the operator was afraid that pressing the button would set off a missile. lol!
Just before 5pm. I thought it would be a lot busier too.What time did you take those photos? The ramp is nearly empty.
It’s snowing and the ramp is new, so people might not know it’s open.Just before 5pm. I thought it would be a lot busier too.
That’s quite a sharp turn.As per project's website, the restriction of no left turn from Lower Simcoe Northbound to Lake Shore Westbound is temporary until the summer.
