Highway to nowhere

Since planning to move to Canada and choosing Toronto I have read lot of Tourist books on the city and they all have sections on the Gardiner expressway.
It is explained that this elevated roadway which moves traffic right across the bottom end of town has been considered in numerous studies designed to improve access to the waterfront and make Toronto a`world class city`.
They want to remove it or bury it, both of which are expensive, in order to walk down from the city centre to the lake. Whilst this would have been great in years gone by there are now at least a million condos in that space so all you woukd do is walk in their shadow!
As I rushed home from work late last night the gardiner was revealed in it`s true beauty, plenty of space ,fast moving traffic , stunning views of the down town core and the waterfront at midnight.
This is a big city warts and all, and if you can`t sleep in the next `humidex advisory` borrow rent or steal a car and do the few miles from the lake end to the dvp, turn round and do it again, repeat til dawn.
