Traffic congestion has economic impacts. It is making our housing crisis worse. It causes people to lose time and money commuting long distances over long hours.

Building a new highway will not solve our traffic congestion issues, due to induced demand. Building a new highway while cutting the need for environmental review is even more irresponsible.

What is required to solve traffic congestion, is to build non-car infrastructure. The bike lanes on Bloor and University are good examples of such safe infrastructure that encourages bike usages. Do not tear up the bike lanes. Do not build the new highway. Our tax dollars needs to be directed at infrastructure projects that actually take cars off the road, by incentivizing other modes of transportation.
