Front Street extension

A proposal to extend Front Street was made in 1999 as part of the Waterfront Regeneration plan. The 5 storey Dominion Public Building was built in 1935 for the government of Canada and is across the street from Union Station (Toronto. The plan would extend the road west to Dufferin Street, adding connections to the Gardiner Expressway. Dufferin Street is a major north-south street in Toronto and York Region, Ontario, Canada. The Frederick G Gardiner Expressway, known locally as " the Gardiner " is an expressway connecting downtown Toronto, Ontario, The proposed extension is supported by local councillor Joe Pantalone but is opposed by local residents who fear an influx of traffic into the Parkdale area. Joe Pantalone (born 1952) is a Canadian politician, city councillor for Ward 19 one of two wards in Trinity—Spadina, and deputy mayor of Parkdale is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, west of Downtown.

Two local entrepreneurs Fred Dominelli and Dale Martin purchased some land on the extension's route for $280,000 and stand to make a profit of nearly $7 million which is now the cost required to expropriate the land. Fred Dominelli is a municipal politician in Toronto Ontario. On May 22, 2003, City Council appointed Dominelli as an interim councillor The entire cost of the extension, once estimated at $120 million, has now grown to $245 million.
