I wish they undergrounded that great wall of Canada between the barbaric Great Lake and civilized city of Toronto first.
That ain't going to happen. Not in our lifetime at least.

And why is that?
Btw, sorry, how old are you? 60s or 70s?
Projects like this will undermine the Gardiner's impact, so I don't support burying the Gardiner.
Wouldn't you rather have open sky above, instead of walking under a highway? You could still have room for such outdoor spaces if the Gardiner were to be buried. They'd be even more inviting.
Sometimes you wish for a Chinese sort of will/ability to impose big changes that are long and disruptive in implementation, but eventually for the good.

And the Gardiner isn't the only thing separating the city from the lake -- I'd argue that a much bigger impediment is the rail right-of-way. And it would likely be far cheaper to cover the railway with an urban park that it would be to bury the Gardiner.
Nads, are you not aware you're on Urban Toronto where people don't like change and think very small. No wonder Toronto is considered boring by outsiders. Every time someone thinks of a big plan he's ridiculed as a lost cause. You know Boston was stupid for tearing down and putting their highways underground.
Though i think the money would be better spent on covering the railroads with parkland and only parkland and getting rid of those ugly poles on our sidewalks.
