Comment
This proposal is going completely against the principles of traffic management, which has been proven time and again. The only solution to car traffic is viable transportation alternatives, such as active transportation and public transportation.
The proposal wants to get people where they need to go faster, which in reality it won't as induced demand will lead to the same amount of congestion due to the same bottlenecks.
Nowhere in the proposal is there any mention of safety for people outside of cars. As the population grows, as well as the proliferation of large cars such as SUVs and pickup trucks, along with distracted driving due to use of cell phones, it is becoming increasingly dangerous to be outside of a car, and drivers are increasingly more impatient thus causing traffic, accidents, injury and death.
I would like this proposal repealed as this also adds an unnecessary level of bureaucracy to any municipalities who would like to improve their cities by impleting safe transportation networks.
