I think it is concerning that you want to forcefully push people out from their property without due process in order to build more highways/more lanes for highways. Again, it would make much more sense to encourage other people to use alternative forms of transportation. Get the transit projects done so that people don't need to depend on highways, and you would not have to pass such a piece of legislation. Not only that, but there are also short term solutions that can be implemented to improve congestion wile transit is built. As well, this would allow for more housing to be built (due to the increased public transit). There seems to be a fixation on cars when it would be better for everyone (even drivers) if people were allowed and encouraged to use alternate forms of transit. Instead, this legislation is trying to skirt around the approval process for building new lanes/highways (and other infrastructure) rather than doing what makes more sense (getting more transit built instead of encouraging more car usage, which will make congestion worse, and encouraging people to use other forms of transportation outside of driving cars).
