Exhibition Loop

At Exhibition Loop. A great transit site was lost when this loop was moved north under the Gardiner Expressway to make room for the new Trade Centre. There might have been a large underground loop as part of the complex, but nobody wanted to spend the money. Transit was relegated to the north edge of the CNE grounds where it will serve, with difficulty, any new developments on that land, let alone Ontario Place to the south. And why, you ask, was there no streetcar to Ontario Place? They didn’t want to give up their parking lot. That’s what passes for “planning” in what could have been the largest entertainment centre of Toronto.
