An environmental assessment (EA) has been submitted to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change by the City of Toronto and Waterfront Toronto for improvements to a 2.4 kilometre portion of the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard East from approximately Lower Jarvis Street to approximately Leslie Street, in the City of Toronto. The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change has prepared a Review of the EA for public, government agency and Indigenous community comment. The Review of the EA does not make a decision about the EA. That decision is made by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change after the comment period is over and consideration of all submissions.

You can submit comments on the undertaking, the environmental assessment, and the ministry Review. You may also request a hearing by the Environmental Review Tribunal. If you request a hearing you must state in your submission, whether you are requesting a hearing on the whole application or on only specified matters related to the application.
