Penalosa would revert to a plan recommended by city staff - turning the Gardiner east into a boulevard for new community.

There would be space for 8,000 new homes for 15,000 people!

which will generate at least $1 billion in construction savings and will extend east Gardiner commuters’ average time in traffic by a few minutes!

“If we do a boulevard with sidewalks, protected bikeways, trees, benches … we’re going to have less cost, some money (saved), some revenue and a better project..."

"…The Gardiner fiasco is the symbol of irresponsible spending that we must stop in order to create a Toronto for everyone.” Gil said.
