As Toronto grows, if the only safe and connected option is driving, then we will continue to get more and more cars. We have induced an insatiable demand for cars in our city, making traffic an inevitability.

What next, bulldozing businesses on Bloor to build even more lanes? The only solution to car traffic is viable alternatives to driving such as trains between cities and bikes and busses within cities move magnitudes more people in far less space. This act will clog the streets with more cars and those who continue to bike without protection will die at a great moral and financial cost to society.

Furthermore, the justifications that have been posed are using outdated data and the reasons have been systematically disproven. There are decades of studies and data from cities around the world showing that more lanes and more cars results in more car traffic.
