Help Decide the Future of the Gardiner Expressway East

Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto are seeking public input into a project considering the removal, replacement, improvement or maintenance of the Gardiner Expressway from Jarvis Street to just east of the Don Valley Parkway.

Public input into this important project is critical. You can participate online and/or by attending one of our Public Forums. We are hosting four public information sessions across the City in this second round of public consultations. The Environmental Assessment process involves many rounds of public meetings and locations will be varied to ensure many different neighbourhoods are covered.

You are invited to attend Public Forum #2 where you can learn more about the key components of the Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference that have been drafted, including: Study Goals and Principles, Alternative Concepts, Evaluation Process and Criteria Groups, and the approach for Environmental Assessment Consultation. You will also be able to ask questions and speak directly with members of the project team, offer input, submit comments, and raise concerns. The team will present a summary of public input that has been received to date through Public Forum #1 and the consultation website.
