Guest: Alyshah Hasham, City Hall reporter
Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway is a perennial debate from all directions, and just as the mayoral race gets underway, we have arrived at the debate about the $1.2-billion future of the eastern section. Josh Matlow, a city councillor and recently-confirmed mayoral contender to replace John Tory, says going forward would be a “historic mistake” and, along with a handful of community groups, is urging for an updated accounting of the cost of the plan with an eye to maybe shelve it. Other mayoral contenders are also beginning to speak up on what may possibly be a key election issue. Today we talk about our love/hate relationship with the Gardiner and why this debate runs through the heart of what this city means to us.
