Toronto city council lacks the competence and the interest to understand the mobility implications for the majority of the population resulting from the changes they make to the streets of the city.

If councillors believe the answer to a better functioning city is to get citizens out of their cars onto other modes of transport, they should first build the transit that will induce people to do so.

Many cities around the world started building subways (not LRTs) after the city of Toronto built Line 1 but now have subways that reach a much greater percentage of their population.

With the advent of the Ontario Line it can now be hoped that the province will step in to make the decisions that city council is unable to make.
