This is an incredibly misguided bill that will do nothing to decrease congestion and, in fact, will very likely make traffic worse in the GTA as it will remove safe alternatives to driving and will increase the volume of traffic arriving into the GTA with the completion of highway 413.

I urge the government to withdraw this bill and replace it with a plan to address congestion that is evidence-based and follows proven best practices from other places that have successfully reduced congestion.

Continuing to build the same car-focused infrastructure that we have always built while doing nothing to decrease car dependency will never be successful in reducing congestion. It’s time for a new way. One more lane is not going to fix it.
