we need more roads and here comes Tory with his King st pilot project and now keesmaat tearing down gardener ... sigh

so what will it cost us to save money.... like a bad commercial .... it will cost us to tear it down and build that new road

is the dumbest thing I have ever heard! Gridlock on the gardiner would triple in the downtown core. Gridlock on the 401 would triple from all of the people who had no option but to take it ? All for what? More condos? Besides taxes, gridlock is the biggest problem we have!

And then what? How do people get in and out of downtown Toronto?

I think it’s a great idea ..... NOT

Full of crap. The gardiner is over the lakeshore blvd. No gain in space for building condos but she wants to double the amount of traffic on the one road. Just how much harder does she want to make crossing the road for bikes and pedestrians

Lets dance!

jen_keesmaat you are a fool by suggesting that. It’s one of the main arteries to get to the downtown core. Tearing it down would only increase traffic by 10 folds. U need a better plan

FAITH GOLDY for MAYOR of Toronto 2018 👍🇨🇦👍🇨🇦👍🇨🇦

She just dug own grave. 😂😂😂

STUPID move. build 2 new highways with 6 lanes each direction to make the city flow. don't remove the highway !!

The LAST thing this city needs is more slow downs in traffic. Anyone who suggests otherwise is out of their minds!

She’s so lost and whacked!

Ok now the blonde jokes can fly, she deserves every one of them

She is consistent. Jennifer hates cars.

idiot

If we built a Causeway across the front of Toronto and charge toll for it we would bring in enough Revenue to reduce taxes did not open it until it is completed they're my allowing Gardner to continue to function until required

This is what we can expect if she becomes Mayor...war on cars. Tear down the only downtown expressway, which will jam up ALL the streets downtown tenfold, probably eliminating parking lots, $hundreds in fees for on street parking, toll roads, bring back city licence fee, etc...

dumb... we need less urban sprawl, not more...

Tearing down the eastern part of the Gardener will help solve traffic issue?!! I Don’t think so!!

She is right. Have you seen it lately it is a huge mess.

And then what? We all ride donkeys to work? How can you actually let this woman debate and not take FaithGoldy seriously?

GAHHHHH MY DEMOCRACY!!!!

This is literally the worst idea that the city could implement

...while spending billions and billions of dollars in the long run to combat the aftereffects of doing so

Check out the trailer park trash crying in the comments. If only y’all put this much effort into taking a shower and getting a job.

gridlock dummy

Brain dead!!!!

Council already voted and chose an alternative. onpoli TOpoli

FaithForMayor FaithGoldyForMayot FaithForToronto

has she lost her mind

I would like to hear Faith Goldys opinion on infrastructure, at the next debate

Why are there only two choices (1) Tweedle-dee JohnTory and (2) Tweedle-dump jen_keesmaat ? FaithGoldy LetFaithDebate

What does Faith Goldy think about this, you know 3in the polls.

And she had been doing so well until now.....

She’s got the jump on the legalization coming soon. You’ve got to be high to just keep making these $$$ up

Avoid, not save

Your as dumb as a rock! Smart track is great 👍 opps

LRT SCARBOROUGH

What’s the cost to bring it down. And I heard manny times before, oh we can save money if we do this and we end up spending way more.

Wait , this twit says that tearing it down would SAVE $500 million dollars ? Is she then saying that it is costing the city half a BiLLION dollars just to operate that small section ? No wonder this city is a financial disaster . FaithGoldy

She has no clue. LetFaithDebate FaithGoldy FaithForMayor

Bingo, what did I say about her. Let's clog up traffic everywhere in Toronto, completely clueless when it comes to "MOVING" traffic, and I bet she will be the first one to be screaming about the massive traffic congestion problem in Toronto. jen_keesmaat

Great idea! Lets rip up the 401 while we're at it

Lol. GTFO. And if you ever wonder why you lost, come back and read this article again.

She became and exec by giving blowjobs. Then hired as city planner by mayor Ford's team. She should definitely stick to blowjobs when opening her mouth.

replace with more condos ? Politicians are totally corrupted.

She likes the glasses look

She wants to start all over again, for the tenth (?) time the endless discussions, debates and votes on new roads and transit. She is an Obstructionist! Nothing will EVER get finished if she is mayor. 😠

All Keesmaat know is play SimCity..... Seriously we have bigger issues in this city.

Ignoring the added congestion, sure. Traffic costs the city a fortune.

That's bull! The cost of tearing down alone would cost money and then their is the extra traffic considerations through that segment. This is another attempt by this bureaucratic candidate to find ways to hire more of her buddies and pump up the govt tax spending machine

That doesn’t solve gridlock in Toronto and will only make things worse.

True colors of a simpleton...with a simple plan

this city is insane.
