None of this will actually reduce gridlock. Gridlock is not caused by "number of lanes", but rather user behaviour.
Banning "right turn on red" would help much, much more. This would stop people from feeling they have to enter an intersection on green when the lane ahead is backed up in order to stop a right turner from cutting in front of them (which is illegal, but not enforced).
Furthermore it's been well established that putting in more, faster lanes just means that people drive further, more often and with less planning.
407 should never have been privatized and is highly underutilized.
Taking away valuable farmland to make more roads is extremely short-sighted and doesn't belong in this bill.
