We need to divest from…

We need to divest from automobile infrastructure. The 401 is the perfect example that adding more lanes doesn’t help the flow of traffic.

We should be building more public transit corridors. A train line that spans the 401 and connects all GO Transit corridors. And more subways.

We should use true examples of world class cities like London, UK. that do not have severe grid lock problems and make over 1 billion annual trips on their robust public transit system. Another example is Copenhagen that has a network of bike lanes that support reduction of car traffic and as result do not experience our immense traffic.

Our decision makers need to travel to leading European cities and take example of how smart policies and focus on public transit can reduce dependency on cars and as a result no need to expand highways . Also leads to a healthier society which reduces health care spend.
