Why not like, I dunno, make a tunnel in that unfinished section. And you're probably gonna say I'm bonkers because that is too expensive but I mean, is it really? Tunnels are EVERYWHERE in Europe. Just mazes and mazes of tunnels. They really have that much disposable income? We always talk about how many bike lanes Europe have. Never the tunnels...

Very informative. Stopping destructive expresways through vibrant communities like Spadina was absolutely the right thing to do.

ngl allen road should combine near the end by eglinton so that theres only one traffic light instead of two and traffic might run a little more smoothly

One thought to consider in the "will of the many" framing: there's no good evidence that there was an obvious majority of people who wanted this expressway. Bill Davis, who cancelled the project, won a strong majority of seats in both Ontario and Toronto, later that year. The Liberals, who were the only party advocating for finishing Spadina, only won 4 seats in Toronto, and came 3rd across the province.

You use to have to say the Lord's prayer And sing the Anthem in schools ..If you were not christian you simply did not have to say it ..They removed the prayer And even the anthem after that It was a Big government move seeing the Church and King ruled side by side...Even in courts you are Sworn in with a bible (Faded out) You can get married in a church Or City hall etc etc

You should do a video about Kingston road. It was another failed highway. Also you have the underground PATH network that was built to be a underground road network that also failed and became a underground PATH for pedestrians.

This is why Toronto's traffic is awful. Incomplete, and lack of freeways.

Yes cause more lanes and more expressways fixes traffic 😂, cancelled Spadina exrpressway would still be carrying less amount of people than the subway that replaced it

It’s not wrong though. Building a freeway only to end it abruptly forces the Allen road traffic onto Lawrence or Eglinton. If they weren’t going to continue the project, they should have turned the Allen into a normal road with proper exits and entrances leading up to Eglinton. The 401 also operates as a barrier that channels traffic only through a few main roads like the Allen, so that doesn’t help matters either. What stopped this project was the money in Forest hill not students or conservationists lol. The residents didn’t want this hwy cutting through it. If this road was further west in poorer areas near dufferin or Caledonia, it would have been completed.

@@TheRandCrews in this case it would have definitely alleviated traffic coming from the north west of the city. This isn’t a more lanes issue.
