Stop building highways.

1. Learn something about induced demand. Adding more highways is not going to make travelling in the province any easier. While it will ease congestion for a brief time, it is simply going to push the problem onto another government and another generation. Start being forward/future thinking please!

2. We have a highway (407) that could ease congestion on the 401. Make better use of it. Move truck traffic there. Take the tolls off. Whatever, but make more effective use of the infrastructure that we already have before putting billions into building new highways.

3. We don't need legislation that helps us to build highways faster because we don't need more highways. We need legislation that helps build greater infrastructure that moves MORE people, not more cars - busses, bikes, trains.
