This is absolutely abhorrent…

This is absolutely abhorrent policy and I'm floored that a government would be this inept to even allow this to be tabled.

It has been proven UNIANIMOUSLY that the ONLY solution to traffic in cities is to offer viable and alternative means of transportation. Prioritizing private vehicles only induces further demand because trips that could have been completed by an alternative measure (e.g. cycling, public transit) are not viable options. Have some faith in your municipal governments to make decisions that are best for their communities and stop trying to strong arm policies that don't fit your personal agendas.

The real atrocity here is that we'd even humour this idea, spend tax payer money and dedicate precious time of our public servants to even hear this idea out -- when right now we are struggling with a provincial crown corporation (Metrolinx) that has yet to deliver a single (!!!) complete transit project since it's inception over a decade ago. Why are we still in the dark about an opening date to EVERY LRT project in the province (Hurontario, Eglinton, Finch, etc.)
