A design like that is terrible urban planning. Just think of the barrier that a 12-lane highway would create between urban neighbourhoods. Can you name another city that has a 12-lane highway running through downtown? There is a reason for that.

Agreed, widening the 417 to 12 lanes through downtown would be disastrous. It would only enable more sprawl. The city should strenuously resist any more widening to the Queensway.
I suppose there are people on the outskirts of Toronto who would like the Gardner expanded to 12 lanes too.
