August1991 Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Why did Davis stop it? But Drapeau build it? Quote
500channelsurfer Posted August 13 Report Posted August 13 Drapeau was a doer-would accept and overcome obstacles, sometimes (and famously!) no matter the cost. Brought Montreal Expo67 and the Olympics. However, Drapeau wanted 2 expressways, one on the east of the mountain (Papineau) and one on the west of the mountain (Decarie). He only got Decarie. Maybe Davis was like Drapeau, got Don Valley but not Spadina? Quote

August1991 Posted August 17 Author Report Posted August 17 Davis famously said: "If we are building a transportation system to serve the automobile, the Spadina Expressway would be a good place to start. But if we are building a transportation system to serve people, the Spadina Expressway is a good place to stop." Drapeau famously said in 1973: « Il est aussi impossible pour les Jeux olympiques de Montréal de produire un déficit que pour un homme de devenir enceinte. » Quote
