This is an overreach of provincial power, and a step backwards in managing both traffic congestion and reduction of emissions. Bigger roads just encourage more cars to fill them, and reduce the amount of people able to move through them efficiently.

We need to focus on finishing projects that have been started (Crosstown LRT, Ontario Line). This plan is merely a quick fix distraction from the larger issue at hand. Public transit and bike lanes move far more people safely and efficiently than roads. Investing in a robust regional transit system to move out-of-towners into the city and onto convient transit systems such as the TTC or bikeshare would reduce cars on the road and curtail congestion.
