This is adding more…

This is adding more unnecessary red tape for municipalities to build their roads, neighbourhoods, and communities. The Provincial government should leave local road design to the respective municipalities.

The Provincial Government should instead focus on regional transit, fixing Metrolinx to be more effective, and getting our much delayed transit projects on time and under budget. We all know that efficient transit is the best way to get people moving. Please look at precedents and data from major cities around the world.

If you are looking for better legislative ideas to reduce gridlock, may I suggest:
1) higher taxes for extra-large personal vehicles and light trucks to discourage their use; as they take up more road, highway, and parking space; contributing to gridlock. Smaller cars are also more manoeverable for allowing emergency vehicles to pass.
2) more stringent drivers licencing requirements and testing; as bad driving and road accidents cause major gridlock everywhere - from highways to local roads.
