As has been the plan for this project from day one, nine years ago, which we can see on any map of the project, the sweeping curve that takes traffic from Harbour Street up to Lake Shore is to be eliminated after Harbour Street has been extended a few block east. You'll be able to make hard left turns at Yonge, Freeland, Cooper, the new north-south street west of the Loblaws site, and eventually at Jarvis, then a right turn from any of those back on to Lake Shore. Another option if you're eastbound on Lake Shore further to the west will be to hop onto the Gardiner via the ramp just east of Rees Street and exit again at Yonge (which will replace the Jarvis offramp). The point is to make the area down there a livable part of the city and not an express transportation corridor. And again, the space freed up by eliminating the sweeping ramp from Harbour to Lake Shore will allow the City to create two public plazas in the area for people to enjoy.
