Horribly regressive and ill informed. The law of induced demand that has been proven not only here in Ontario, but in countless other places around the world, states more lanes do not reduce traffic congestion in the long run. Putting more cars on the road WILL NOT REDUCE TRAFFIC CONGESTION.
Spending billions of tax payer dollars on a new highway is widely irresponsible when even a portion of that budget could be put into new rapid public transportation or investing in the established public transit we already have(proven to actually be efficient at moving people from a2b given the proper design). Improve roads that we have already first and build new ones second. This is a blatant act of climate change denial- which will continue to pollute our smog infested city centres.
Ontario needs designers dedicated to sustainability, efficiency, and progressive design. The last 60+ years of the same thought pattern HAS NOT WORKED AS WE ARE NOW OBSERVING WITH HOW MUCH TRAFFIC CONGESTION THERE IS.
More roads, wider roads, and less delegation to alternative transportation options will directly hinder the livability in Toronto and should be disapproved ferociously .
