Mississauga is a worse…

Mississauga is a worse Toronto. Toronto is known for its transportation and high density units. Other hot spots like Vancouver and Montreal share these same qualities. Parts of Europe and East Asia are absolutely destroying us when it comes to transportation and urban planning. We have plenty of models to learn from and implement ourselves but we don't. We finally get some expansions into non-motor vehicle transportation and the first thing you want to do is remove it? The urban sprawl Mississauga is designed after is financially unsustainable. Longer roads just mean more upkeep, more roads just mean even more upkeep, and the the taxpayer is supposed to cover this? The city has to grow to cover the cost but more growth means more cost to cover, it's a dog chasing its own tail. You speak of building another highway, for what? To make up for the absolute blunder that was leasing the 407 for 99 years? 99 years?! Is this copyright law?! So when things aren't working your solution is to do more of it? Am I understanding that correctly? Because it seems to be the only play in your playbook. In short, I don't support this is any capacity. And since you clearly have time and funding, you should use it to come up with NEW solutions instead of the same old tricks that have been run into the ground time and time again. This is not the first new road/highway built nor is it the first lane expansion, but it's always the same "oh, but if we just add another one, it will fix the problem." It's always been a bandage fix and then the problem comes right back. And we have this same conversation again, pretending like it's the first time. Do something different. Bike lanes on main roads that people use to go to places they want to go without having to use a car and get stuck in traffic? Actually different. If you want to address congestion, instead of doing things that make you feel better in the short-term, how bout trying solutions that actually work long-term. Again we have plenty of cities on this blue planet that we can draw inspiration from. This rat race your running isn't sustainable.
