A
bold new approach is needed to solve some of downtown
Toronto urban development restrictions. The desire
to expand and embrace the waterfront area is restricted
by traffic arteries. The Gardiner Expressway should
be repositioned and reconnected in a different way
with the existing main urban network. Analysis shows
that there will be enough urban infill space to
satisfy current and future needs. The repositioning
will create new nodes of dense urban structures.
This will open possibilities for the complete restructuring
of existing functions.
