Adding lanes does not reduce traffic. If you want to reduce traffic you have to provide viable alternatives.

These alternatives should be equal or better than driving for people to start using them. Bikes is one mode of transport, that is readily accessible to people of all ages to use to get around the city.

In addition, public transports needs to be improved. This can be achieved by adding more subway lines, dedicated bus lanes and intercity trains.

Many in the community of Toronto are incapable of driving either due to medical reason or their license having been revoked or simply because they are not able to afford a car. This should not mean that they should be treated as second class citizens and be not able to get around the city using other means.
