Police are tweeting that the Bayview extension is closed at River St because of flooding and that rising waters threaten the Don Valley Parkway Thursday. City road maps show that Bayview Ave southbound is blocked at Moore Ave. The City is said to be closely watching the Bloor ramp to the Gardiner Expressway.
Millions were spent on these fancy remote flood protection gates on Bayview to direct traffic when the Don River floods. “Necessary climate change infrastructure” they said yet here we have half a dozen city works staff blocking the road instead. What gives? pic.twitter.com/eLe6GDeVj1
