Toronto just declared a climate emergency, so why is it still fixing up the Gardiner?
By Nick Boisvert CBC News
Published Oct 4, 2019
The city's declaration of a climate emergency in the same week it begins major repairs to the Gardiner Expressway sends a mixed message about Toronto's commitment to fighting climate change, environmental advocates say.
(If Toronto Silly Hall really believed in a climate emergency - then their first act would be to take strong immediate action and BAN AIR TRAVEL by politicians!! But that WILL NOT HAPPEN as our leaders LOVE that gas guzzling govt sponsored travel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(It was LIE-beral Dalton McGinty who mused- right after being elected Ontari-owe premier- that “it might be time for govt to start picking economic winners and
losers” meaning LIE-berals would manage the economy more fully - ostensibly for the good of the province!! But the LIE-beral DEVIL is in the details - LIE-berals think THEY ARE the province and thus whatever is good for LIE-berals MUST BE BEST FOR ALL- which is why we now have that Ford govt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Starting at midnight on Friday, construction crews will begin demolishing, and will eventually rebuild, the westbound off-ramp to Jarvis and Sherbourne streets.
The intensive work will carry into the spring of 2020. It's part of a more than $3.6-billion construction project to keep the Gardiner operational until the late 21st century.
(Too bad for LIE-berals that Gardiner is an ESSENTIAL SERVICE that brings lots of ESSENTIAL STUFF into the city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"It's definitely a contradiction," said Sarah Buchanan, a manager with the advocacy group Environmental Defence.
"This major infrastructure project will lock us into more carbon pollution from cars," she said. "There were cheaper, greener options that were available."
(Oh there is a LIE!! Silly Hall has already been through ALL the options and NONE fit with EITHER transportation reality or city budget limits!! TTC cannot efficiently handle the current passenger load without frequent breakdowns!! It is HOG GREED that has prevented us from building any new public transit for MANY DECADES - or doing needed maintenance either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
In 2015, Mayor John Tory and city council narrowly approved a plan to repair and rebuild the Gardiner, instead of demolishing the eastern portion in favour of a ground-level boulevard.
(Yes - fortunately common sense prevailed as councillors counted up the number of ENRAGED CITIZENS who would be voting against them for deliberately screwing up and deliberately demolishing a major transportation link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
A city report released at the time said the boulevard option would have resulted in a 12 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions while also improving local air quality.
(No doubt- and it would also have destroyed property values in much of the city core as it was CUT OFF from the world by BLOCKED ROADS!! Nor could CITY PLANNERS discount the number of people who wish to flee the city on weekends and holidays!! Planners were not able to hide just how much road rage would be generated by DELIBERATELY STAGED GRID LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The decision was roundly criticized by environmentalists and many downtown councillors at the time, but it has come under a new round of scrutiny after the city formally declared a climate emergency on Wednesday.
(Canada is still a democracy and the deceitful LIE-beral plan “to save the environment by destroying the lives of ordinary people - while expanding the privileges of LIE-berals and their allies WILL NOT FLY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Toronto to adopt new 'climate lens'
(It would be nice if the new lense offered some common sense and logic but that will not happen since BUYING VOTES is more important - thus LIE-berals will continue the climate fight with their carbon tax SCAM that only cleans cash from wallets and leaves the dirt in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The declaration calls for the city to "deepen" its commitment to fighting climate change while also committing to a target of net zero emissions by 2050.
(Yes- the city is now testing its THIRD SET of costly Green Buses in desperate hope of finding a brand that delivers anything like the GRAND promises offered by makers!! Thus far the Green buses have cost at least FIFTY PERCENT MORE than diesel buses - AND have utterly failed to supply the fuel economy and mechanical reliability the city needs and desires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(TTC would NEVER Have tested those green buses UNLESS federal LIE-berals had not offered up so much BRIBE MONEY to buy the buses!! City logic is so twisted that they do not consider federal money as Toronto tax payer cash!! In the eyes of Silly Hall- that federal cash is like Fairy Gold - obtained free and easily and thus easily WASTED ON HALF BAKED GAMBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The declaration also calls for the city to adopt a new "climate lens that evaluates and considers the climate impacts of all major city of Toronto decisions."
(Uh huh- its all sound and fury and signifies nothing since our leaders do NOTHING PRACTICAL!! Airplanes are the most dirty way to travel yet city HOGS LOVE them!! The city even LOSES millions of dollars in revenue - by handing out FREE parking passes to politicians and retired city HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Critics say the controversial decision to maintain an elevated roadway that cuts through the heart of Toronto's waterfront would never have been approved under that approach.
(In other words - a minority of extreme climate BIGOTS are seeking ways to BULLY the rest of us while IGNORING REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Emmay Mah, executive director of the Toronto Environmental Alliance, said there was a "clear choice" between funding the Gardiner repairs or investing in public transit, and that city councillors ultimately chose the more damaging option.
(Mah offers the CLASSIC LIE-beral DELUSION!! The city DOES NOT HAVE the billion plus dollars needed to take down Gardiner!! Nor can residents tolerate the massive road disruption that would run for a decade or more- with the usual major cost over runs and endless delays that all city road projects generate!! Any politician who arranged for such a mess could kiss their career good bye !!!!!!!)
(City HOGS MUST FIRST build the transit - so drivers have an honest option but LIE-berals wont act because they need all the gravy for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"The Gardiner Expressway, I think, provides a good case study and I hope there are some lessons learned," she said.
(Yes- lessons about logic and economic REALITY- that Mah is DODGING!! Toronto has CONSISTENTLY OFFERED MORE GRAVY TO HOGS- while neglecting to build transit because LIE-beral vote buying is a COSTLY PRIORITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Tory says transit the priority
(Yes- transit has been the “priority” for 40 years - with only the Eglinton LRT getting built - and that only because Rob Ford TEMPORARILY DERAILED the loathsome revenue grabbing HOG GRAVY TRAIN!! Other transit “projects” are nothing mote than lines on a map!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
In response to re-emerging criticism over the Gardiner repairs, Tory has argued that the project will ultimately be beneficial to the fight against climate change.
At a news conference last week, Tory said maintaining the Gardiner will continue to prevent cars from entering downtown Toronto, saving the core from additional pollution.
(HUH?? Is Jackass John Tory suggesting that construction crews will be working DELIBERATELY in a slow and traffic blocking fashion?? Is the Gardiner repair job being used by HOGS as the ULTIMATE make work project??????????????)
(Or should we assume that Gardiner repairs are going ahead in order to avoid having people despair for the future of Toronto so that people and jobs leave the city and go someplace else - where there would be less transit and more driving?? Are HOGS turning Toronto into a GATED COMMUNITY - and NO ordinary people need apply????????????????????????????)
But more important, he said, is the city's ongoing commitment to fund a variety of transit projects, where true strides against climate change can be made.
"The amount we're spending on rebuilding a small part of the Gardiner Expressway pales in comparison to what we're investing in public transit to get people out of their cars entirely," Tory said.
(Uh huh - and what they are spending on Gardiner repairs is a SMALL FRACTION of the cost and trouble that will be generated if Gardiner becomes Unsafe and must be CLOSED at short notice - with NO transit back up plan!!!!!!!! With the added bonus that what TTC is spending on transit at this time is MERELY LONG DELAYED MAINTENANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(TTC has been planning its down town relief line for MANY DECADES - and it was a PIPE DREAM till Ford lit a fire under them!! Even if the newly planned “Ontari-owe Line does get started- watch for it to be CURTAILED due to “altered spending priorities” if Ford is defeated in the next election!! The Shepard subway line was PLANNED to reach Scarborough Town Centre and obviously DOES NOT!! LIE-berals make GRAND PLANS that do not connect with REALITY!!!!!)
Toronto's four largest transit projects currently in the works — the Ontario Line, the Scarborough subway extension, a subway extension to Richmond Hill, and the Eglinton West LRT extension — have an estimated cost of $26.7 billion, though much of the funding will come from the federal and provincial governments.
(And NONE of these projects would even be in the planning stages if Toronto HOGS had not been shoved aside by Doug Ford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(That is the climate reality - that LIE-berals and their HOG allies are looking with great diligence - for somebody else to dump THEIR PROBLEMS onto!! Our LIE-beral leaders HAVE NO ANSWERS- they have only greed and their war on cars!!!!!!!!!!)
