In the opinion of critics, the move set "in motion a trend that has yet to abate: politicians overruling the painstaking work of urban and transportation planners". There is often a long line of vehicles in the southbound lanes from as far north as Lawrence Avenue queued to exit on Eglinton and often long lineups of cars on Eglinton trying to get on Allen Road. In addition, the Spadina subway line, which is located within the median, has been criticized as the "worst place to put that route... The stations that serve the Allen Road corridor are among the most uninviting, unwalkable places in the city."
