Cars would be banned from the Gardiner in favour of transit, pedestrian and cycling lanes, and drivers would be confined to an eight-lane Lake Shore Blvd., according to a $1.3 billion waterfront plan unveiled Tuesday by mayoral candidate Georgio Mammoliti.

The vision of University of Toronto architecture professors Ivan Saleff and Robert Wright, reimagines the Gardiner as a 6-kilometre “Skyway” similar to New York’s High Line, a pedestrian park that’s been built along an old elevated rail corridor. It would be open down the middle, like a giant skylight over Lake Shore.

“The Gardiner would open just like Moses opened up the sea,” said Mammoliti at a water’s-edge press conference near Cherry St.

Drivers, who would depend on Lake Shore Blvd. and a Front St. extension, would be tolled $2 to enter the city during the rush hour. They would also have the option of parking in two giant lots near the CNE and the foot of the Don Valley Expressway for the day for a $15 fee that would also include a transit pass.

Mammoliti’s plan also includes 12 new Sky Parks that would equal about 15 Yonge-Dundas Squares.

In the second phase of his plan, Mammoliti envisions transit lines to the Toronto Island and airport. The island would also be home to a convention centre and hotel.

“The whole thing talks about turning a mediocre waterfront into something special, … just like the Chicagos and the Vancouvers of this world,” he said.

Mammoliti wants to pay for the plan over four years using $200 million annually in revenue from a floating casino in the Toronto harbour, about $100 million annually in parking fees and about $75 million from road tolls.
