Why is the current…

Why is the current government of Ontario so short sighted when it comes to trying to alieve traffic congestion in the GTA by building more highways and restricting and removing bike lanes.
The great cities of the world are encouraging and building efficient and reliable public transit, encouraging cycling and walking and getting people out of their cars. This is not only good for the environment but also the mental well-being of it's citizens.
Bill 212 is regressive legislation and just more bad decision making by a government who is proposing spending billions on building a tunnel under the 401and buying the 407.
A truly caring government would put that money for more highways toward improving health care and public transit and not further poisoning our environment.
