Not a valid attachment ID.
The Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway  reopened this morning  after  record  rains  caused  widespread  flooding  in Toronto on  Tuesday. 
 
  The DVP was  closed  between Bayview Avenue and Bloor Street  for several hours  on  Tuesday  after torrential  rains  quickly flooded the busy highway,  leaving  some  motorists  stranded. 

 
 
  FloodingA section of the Gardiner Expressway that was closed due to flooding has also reopened between Jarvis Street and the  DVP.  |
 

 
 
  When asked about stranded  motorists  and whether the DVP should have  closed  earlier  due  to  Tuesday's  flash  flooding,  Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said the city was reluctant to  close  a major highway given  Toronto's  congestion  issues.  |
 
  "The  amount of  rain  and  the speed  at  which  it came was  incredible,  so I  don't  want to  question  our  staff,  but  we  certainly  need to  assess  the  situation,"  he  said. 
 
  The  bad  weather also  caused  a massive power outage across the  city.  Toronto Hydro  reported  that 167,000 customers were without power at the peak of the  outage.  In an email to CP24  Wednesday morning, the utility confirmed that  the vast majority of homes and businesses in the city  have  had  power  restored,  with  just 3,300 customers  still waiting for the lights to come back  on.
