Origin
Summary
This report provides an overview of the current and on-going rehabilitation program for maintaining the Gardiner Expressway, and the required changes to the phasing of the program with the resumption of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the easterly 2.4-kilometre segment of the Gardiner between Jarvis Street and The Don Roadway.
The rehabilitation program and the resulting budget is based on a phasing plan that originally called for eastern deck replacement between Jarvis Street and The Don Roadway from 2013 to 2018, followed by western deck replacement between Strachan Avenue and Rees Street from 2019 to 2024. With the resumption of the EA, the deck replacement work will now begin in the west end and key interim repairs will be completed between Jarvis Street and The Don Roadway – the area that is the subject of the EA.
The resumption of the Gardiner East EA necessitates adjustments to the Transportation Services approved 2013 Capital Budget and 2014 to 2022 Capital Plan. The overall result is a $10.2 million decrease in Transportation Services 2013 Capital Budget and 2014 to 2022 Capital Plan, but an overall increase for this project over 13 years (2013 to 2025) of approximately $19.4 million.
Details of the original Gardiner 10-Year Capital Plan and the proposed revisions are described in the Financial Impact section and Attachment 1 of the report (March 28, 2013) from the Deputy City Manager, Cluster B.
Information about the Gardiner Expressway rehabilitation program and related matters, including links to the Gardiner Individual EA study, is available on the City of Toronto web site at http://www.toronto.ca/transportation/gardiner .
The requirements of the Gardiner Rehabilitation Project and the ongoing EA have to be aligned. This requires a Council decision on a preferred EA option by the Spring of 2014 so that work to refine the option, finalize the design and submission to the Minister of Environment can all be completed by the Spring of 2015.
