the lake ontario shoreline and major east west roads are generally parallel to the lake s shoreline the toronto road system is also influenced by its topography as some roads are aligned with the old

was built it passed through industrial lands now mostly converted to residential lands extensive repairs became necessary in the early 1990s and since then the gardiner has been the subject of several proposals to demolish it or move it underground as part of downtown waterfront revitalization efforts one elevated section east of the don river was demolished in 2001 and a study is underway to
