lol I love how "sprawl" has been co-opted as a derogatory term for literally any development someone doesn't like. Even if it's very high density - just call it "vertical sprawl" and done!
This is most definitely not sprawl. Basically nothing built in the GTA in 2024 is "sprawl" in the...
The new structure is getting built to the north of the existing structure. And yes, it requires some expropriation, particularly through the industrial area on the west side of the Welland Canal.
The project is only the skyway widening though, the QEW will stay as 6 lanes through cental St...

But again - that's reduced QoL and mobility as that...
Or, more likely, induced demand is simply a lot less black and white of a concept than the media portrays. It's a real thing which is very poorly represented in media on how it works.
Luckily the Gardiner will probably be a better representation than most given the strong transit alternatives...
If any construction work does start soon, it’ll be something small. The province is nowhere close to major construction on this, with land purchases, etc still needing to happen.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they “start construction” like they have on the Bradford Bypass, by starting on one...
The City has a " Prequalification for the Construction of New Transit Hub at CF Lime Ridge Mall" tender up on it's procurement website right now. Sounds like Limeridge is finally going to be getting a new bus terminal...
Indeed. Going to make the York St entrance to the city great. York St is going to become much more important in accessing the downtown (and likely far more congested) once the LRT and Main St conversion get underway, so it's good to see this happening now to clean it up.
