A coalition of 40 community groups are calling on the city to release an “up-to-date assessment” of the costs associated with a controversial rebuild of the eastern portion of the Gardiner Expressway.
The coalition is calling itself “Gardiner East Transparency” and is made up of a number of residents associations, environmental groups and other stakeholders.the coalition said that residents have “a right to know” the updated construction costs of the Gardiner rebuild
“The Gardiner thwarts action on a long list of desperately needed programs to build an equitable, healthy, climate-friendly city,” organizer Albert Koehl says in the letter. “The least city hall can do is to provide a full report on the updated costs and lost revenues of the Gardiner East before signing any more contracts.”
That estimate includes $450 million in revenue that it says the city could realize by freeing up an additional 5.4 acres in prime waterfront real estate.
