Crosstown Expressway (Toronto)
The cancelled expressways in Toronto were a planned series of municipal expressways in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that were only partially built or cancelled due to public opposition. Metropolitan Toronto's system of superhighways or freeways were intended to spur or handle growth in the suburbs while also connecting to the downtown core, in conjunction with the province's developing 400-Series Highways which would connect to municipalities outside of Metro. However these expressways were opposed by citizens within the city of Toronto downtown core, citing the demolition of homes and park lands, air pollution, noise and the high cost of construction. The Spadina Expressway, planned since the 1940s, was cancelled in 1971 after being only partially constructed. After the Spadina cancellation, other expressway plans, intended to create a 'ring' around the central core, were abandoned. History By the 1940s, urban development extended past the city of Toronto's borders. It was recogniz ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
