	Spadina Expressway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The remainder of the expressway system in the city, consisting of the 400-series freeways (such as 401, 427, 400 and 404) and the Queen Elizabeth Way, are owned and operated by the Province of Ontario.
		As construction proceeded, opposition to the expressway grew among residents of the neighbourhoods in its path, including affluent and well-established communities of Forest Hill and The Annex.
		Renamed the William R. Allen Expressway after the then-chair of Metropolitan Toronto, the expressway was later given the title of William R. Allen Road to indicate its truncated status; it is referred to as "The Allen" by locals.

	Gardiner Expressway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		View of the Gardiner Expressway, west of downtown Toronto, from the pedestrian overpass at the foot of Roncesvalles Avenue.
		The Gardiner Expressway was one of the first projects undertaken by the newly formed government of Metropolitan Toronto.
		This extension, which was to be known as the Scarborough Expressway, was never completed, apart from a short spur east of the Don Valley Parkway, which was demolished in 2001, as the level of traffic it carried was considered too low to justify the high maintenance costs of the elevated roadway.

	The Scarborough Expressway
		The Scarborough route was meant to be an eastern extension of the Gardiner Expressway adjacent to the lakeshore.
		The new eastern terminus of the Gardiner Expressway at Bouchette Street opened in January 2001, and the demolition of the eastern leg of the expressway to Leslie Street was completed by June 2001.
		The plans for a new buried or surface Gardiner Expressway would be an issue that would be the subject of much debate in the future, and an offshore eastern extension of it could certainly be considered as an important part of that debate.

	CHIC - Gardiner Expressway
		The existing road network is overburdened; public transit is fragmented and inadequate; and the aging Gardiner Expressway acts as a physical barrier between the city and the waterfront.
		The CHIC focus is on re-developing the aging Gardiner Expressway and Lakeshore Boulevard to provide state-of-the-art road infrastructure for the city.
		Re-developing the Gardiner as a toll highway, with the Lakeshore as a non-toll road, provides a number of significant benefits to the general public.

	Transit Toronto - Content: The Expressways of Toronto (Built and Unbuilt)
		The 1966 Metro expressway plan showed new highways such as the 403, 404 and the 407 in the suburbs, and five new expressways in Metro Toronto: the Spadina, the Crosstown, the Scarborough, the Hamilton and the 400 Extension/Christie-Clinton Expressways.
		The Spadina Expressway was to connect central Toronto with the rapidly growing suburbs in the northwest, as the DVP connected with the northeast.
		The Scarborough Expressway was intended to link to the eastern spur of the Gardiner (which was demolished in 2000-1) at Leslie Street to the terminus of Highway 2A in West Hill.

		When they started building it in 1964 (a decade after they had begun the western Gardiner), it was supposed to be the first leg of the planned Scarborough Expressway.
		Ultimately, the powers that were decided that razing entire neighbourhoods so that cars could whiz through the city 10 metres in the air at 90 kilometres an hour may not have been the best way to plan a city.
		And so there the eastern Gardiner sat for 37 years, 1.3 kilometres of expressway to nowhere, complete with Wyle E. Coyote-style lanes stopping in mid-air.

	A BRIEF HISTORY OF TORONTO EXPRESSWAY LIGHTING
		Metropolitan or Municipal expressways are under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (Metro) and include the Gardiner Expressway, the Don Valley Parkway and the Allen (Spadina) Expressway (later called the Allen Road).
		However, since Metro wanted to widen the west end of the Gardiner Expressway from six to eight lanes, replacement of lighting on the Gardiner would be deferred until after the widening was done.
		The remainder of the elevated expressway from Dufferin Street to the Don River continued to have low pressure sodium lighting, as the replacement was put on hold in 2002 due to the discussion of the possibility of burying the expressway.

	Transit Toronto - Content: The Spadina Subway
		A Crosstown Expressway would run from an extended Highway 400, along the CP railway tracks to the Don Valley Parkway, and another expressway would connect the Crosstown and the Gardiner along Christie and Grace streets.
		The Gardiner Expressway and the Spadina Expressway inched forward in stages as nearby residents protested that their neighbourhoods were being adversely affected so that suburban residents could breeze past in their cars.
		The Spadina Expressway was killed (although the section between Lawrence and Eglinton, which had already seen heavy construction, would be finished), and a more transit-oriented policy was established within Metro.

	eye - Slithering around the waterfront - 04.18.02
		The great merit of the scheme is that the buried portion of the new road could be built before the Gardiner was dismantled, a solution that would cause minimum disruption at a fairly affordable cost.
		City planners have responded by proposing the tunnel continue clean through the downtown at significant cost (Boston is spending almost $15 billion to put its downtown expressway in a tunnel), which would result in at least three years of traffic confusion and disruption.
		City council is awash in doubt about improving the central city by demolishing the Gardiner, apparently thinking that the interest of suburban commuters is of the highest priority.

	City of Toronto Archives: The Gardiner Expressway East comes down
		It became known as the Gardiner Expressway East, an extension of the Gardiner Expressway from the Don Valley Parkway east to Leslie Street.
		In 1999, Toronto City Council voted to demolish the elevated section of the Gardiner Expressway East, and replace it with an improved and higher-capacity Lake Shore Boulevard East that would include bicycle lanes, landscaping, and a public art project.
		Industrial environments have been a particular interest of MacCallum's throughout his career, and his photographs of this project show the dismantling of the elevated expressway, the reconstruction of Lake Shore Boulevard East, and the building of new on and off ramps to connect the main Gardiner Expressway to the new Lake Shore Boulevard East.

		Alternatively, if you exit the Gardiner Expressway at Yonge/Bay/York streets you could exit right, and then keep to the left as you go down the ramp.
		If you are approaching from the east, and from the Gardiner Expressway and wanted to head to the convention centre directly, then stay on the Expressway for one more exit.

	NOW Magazine, APRIL 28 - MAY 4, 2005
		It wasn't all that long ago that demolition of the Gardiner Expressway was seen as absolutely necessary to remove a huge artificial barrier between downtown T.O. and its miserable waterfront.
		The thinking was (and in some quarters still is), knock down the highway in the sky and before you know it long-repressed city slickers will start reconnecting with "their" lakeshore, and the entire port lands will become a happening hot spot.
		In fact, if the expressway were to come down, "I'd want to replace its transportation capacity with transit," says the councillor for Ward 36 (Scarborough Southwest).

		Looking down on Toronto from the CN Tower, it is easy to see how consistently imposing the Frederick Gardiner Expressway is along its entire length.
		As an urban artifact, it is striking in its ability to tie the entire waterfront together with a uniformly depressing shadow.
		It seems, however, that there is an incredible opportunity to use the massive scale and length of the Gardiner to tie the waterfront together under more humane circumstances.

		The Gardiner Expressway is one of the biggest concerns.
		The reason for this is simply that though there are concerns about the building and land usage along this part of the street it is the feelings of the group preparing this proposal that our greatest concerns are the skyscrapers and the Gardiner and, therefore, their improvement is our priority.

	Humbul full record view for -- The Gardiner expressway east comes down, City of Toronto Archives
		Planned in the 1960s, only a 1.3 kilometre section of the Expressway was ever built, which after much protest, was finally torn down at the turn of this century.
		For example, resistance to highway development was coupled in the city with an increased interest in protection of the environment.
		As such, the Gardiner Expressway East serves as a barometer of the emergence of a different urban esthetic and different related social values in the late twentieth century, which began to moderate the enormous, and in some senses, blind expansion that naturally characterised life in many North American cities over the previous century.
