    Great video. As a side note, I am very concerned that the Gardiner is ready to collapse. In 2012, engineers warned that the eastern portion near the DVP elevated highway would be unsafe after SIX years (2018). Well here we are, a month from halfway through 2019. That old piece of crap is now ready to come down. It freaks the hell on me and I won't go south of Union, even (especially?) on public transit.

    At the end of the video it says you filmed it on August 12, 2018 but in the video title it says July 15. Also, is it true that some in Toronto want to downgrade the DVP? If your video captured a quiet time it needs to be greatly expanded.

    This video was filmed on July 15. I must have forgotten to change the date in the end screen. I’ve missed that before. The Parkway is pretty chronically congested, but it’s pretty unlikely it will ever be expanded. There have been some ideas to build an HOV lane as far south as Eglinton, but that’s unlikely to happen in my opinion. Most investment in Toronto is in rapid transit. There are several new transit lines proposed or under construction in the rough vicinity of the Don Valley Parkway. Thanks for the comment.
