What the future of our province needs is not expedited highways. We need carefully thought out strategies to reduce emissions, and safe, and sustainable alternatives to travel. Building more highways has not decreased traffic. Cars idling produces more pollution, which impacts everyone's health. We should be supporting bike lines, and commuting that cuts emissions, which both directly and indirectly improves the health of our communities. Directly through the many benefits of exercise on an individual's health, and indirectly by reducing emissions for the broader community. Focusing on cars and changing infrastructure to support them would be a step backwards at a time where we need to be making strides forward for our planet, and for our health. Improving individual and community health saves money in the long run.
