These goals are embodied in the first principle of the City’s Central Waterfront Secondary Plan: Remove barriers and reconnect the City with Lake Ontario. One barrier that the City had struggled to mitigate was the Gardiner Expressway ramp terminals. In 2013, the City commissioned WSP (formerly MMM Group) to complete an Environmental Study to evaluate alternatives for the reconfiguration of the F. G. Gardiner Expressway York-Bay-Yonge eastbound off ramp. Recommendations in that report included constructing a new eastbound off ramp terminating at Lower Simcoe Street and widening Harbour Street between Lower Simcoe and Bay Streets. In 2015, the City retained WSP to design a new off ramp to replace the existing York-Bay-Yonge off ramp. The existing off ramp was 700 m long and terminated at Bay Street. The new one was to terminate at Lower Simcoe Street and be 500 m shorter. WSP undertook design and overall project management for preliminary and detailed design of the new bridge structure. The structure was completed in 2018.

  • Loma Prieta Earthquake
    Case Studies of the Access and Mobility Impact of Freeway Removal Principal Investigator Graduate Research Assistant Dr. Norman Garrick Jason Billings University of Connecticut University of Connecticut Civil, U-2037, Storrs, CT 06269 Civil, U-2037, Storrs, CT 06269 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Throughout the United States, there is a growing movement to remove selected sections of freeways from city centers. Largely seen as a way to restore life and vitality to these areas, this strategy has the potential for numerous benefits including: 1) eliminating a physical and psychological barrier that divides city neighborhoods, 2) opening up land for redevelopment, 3) removing an aesthetic eyesore that takes away from a city’s character, 4) providing direct access to city businesses by restoring road networks and enhancing traffic circulation patterns. Even though the aforementioned benefits are intriguing by themselves, this concept also has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality within these cities. Removing freeways decreases total vehicle miles traveled by promoting walking, biking and mass transit use. Therefore, freeway removal can be seen as another mechanism to contend with the growing environmental issues facing the world. A handful of freeway sections have been removed or relocated from some cities within the United States and abroad. These cities provide a unique opportunity to investigate how such a major undertaking affects access and mobility of all transportation system users. A surprising view that has emerged is that removing these freeway sections has not resulted in traffic disruption as conventional theory would suggest. Instead, it appears that the overall traffic volume in many of these areas has actually decreased.

  • Turn Prohibition – Driveway Access at No. 45 Bay Street (CIBC Square)
    September 16th, 2020 Toronto East York Community Council 100 Queen Street West M5H 2N2 Toronto, ON Re: Turn Prohibition – Driveway Access at No. 45 Bay Street (CIBC Square) To the committee, 45 Bay is located in downtown Toronto in the city’s Financial District. The development site is bounded by Front Street West to the north, Lake Shore Boulevard West to the south, Bay Street to the west and Yonge Street to the east. The site is located south of Union Station and directly east of the Air Canada Centre, in the City’s South Core. Metrolinx bus terminal is contained within the eastern portion of the development, with direct pedestrian connectivity to Union Station to the east. The bus terminal has access and frontage on Lake Shore Boulevard West. As a condition of the Site Plan Agreement, the developer is required to modify the curb lane on Lake Shore Boulevard West for a partially dedicated bus lane. The developer has also agreed, as a condition of Site Plan Approval to notify City staff, in advance of the anticipated date of first occupancy of the project, to enact bylaws with respect to the proposed westbound left-turn prohibition at the driveway access on Bay Street. The intent of this prohibition is to improve operations and safety by eliminating left turns onto Bay Street and have motorists exit this location with a right-turn movement. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that: 1. City Council prohibit westbound left turns at all times at the driveway access at 45 Bay Street located on the east side of Bay Street, approximately 40 metres north of Lake Shore Boulevard West.
