11 h. ago Gardiner Expressway traffic chaos to end over a year ahead of schedule

Ongoing lane closures on the Gardiner Expressway have caused plenty of headaches for Toronto drivers over the past several months, but a new release from the Ontario government reveals a rare bit of good news.It's been a fraught few months for frequenters of the Gardiner Expressway as the major artery undergoes a massive rehabilitation project to ensure the expressway's longevity.Since Section 2 of the Gardiner Expressway Strategic Rehabilitation Plan, intended to breathe new life into the decaying thoroughfare, kicked off in November 2023, drivers have been plagued with lane closures, reducing busy stretches to, at worst, two lanes in either direction for months on end.Despite the disruptions slowing down traffic, though, construction has only sped up, thanks to a $73 million investment from the Ontario government that has allowed for crews to work on the project 24 hours a day, seven days a week.The project had already been running impressively smoothly in N...

60 h. ago Doug Ford sneaks exemptions for Ontario Place construction into unrelated new law

Just when one may think that the public's confidence in the provincial government and its Ontario Place revitalization project could not get any lower, shady new particulars of Doug Ford's deal with megaspa brand Therme keep coming to light.First, there were the multiple leaks about the site's taxpayer-funded parking garage that Ford and his team appeared to try and conceal, along with the news of the project being exempt from environmental assessments and noise bylaws, shocking cost-benefit analyses that show immense losses for the Province, and more.Then last week, a damning New York Times investigation exposed how Austria-based Therme successfully misrepresented itself and exaggerated its reputation to the Province while only having $1.1 million in equity and one single wellness facility under its belt (on top of essentially stealing its branding from a competitor, with ...

9 d. ago Bombshell allegations about Ontario Place megaspa make international headlines

The "revitalization" of Ontario Place — specifically, the Therme megaspa that serves as the project's cornerstone — has become a blight on Toronto's waterfront, leaving passersby both devastated and enraged to see a public green space and mature habitat reduced to dust overnight despite ample resistance.Alarming revelations about the site's enormous future parking garage, plans to extend the development over the lake, the lack of environmental assessments involved, and more have emerged in the years since the overhaul of the 155-acre property was first announced.But the latest update, which comes via a damning New York Times investigation published on Wednesday, may be the most scandalous yet.While most would agree that the long-defunct amusement park could have benefited from an overhaul, NYT — which is already very familiar with the Ontario Place saga — elucidates why Therme was, as many community members al...
