Wrong Direction: Ontario's Misguided Transportation Planning

The transportation department's decisions are deeply concerning, particularly their approach to reducing cyclist accessibility and safety. The Greater Toronto Area's highways are already severely congested, yet instead of addressing this, Ontario is planning to build new highways near Bradford while GTA commuters remain stuck in ever-worsening traffic.

For decades, we've lost countless hours of productivity due to overcrowded highways. Rather than implementing effective solutions, the current plan seems to encourage more car dependency by expanding the GTA's reach north of Bradford with costly and unnecessary highway projects. Making matters worse, reducing cycling infrastructure will likely force more people to drive, further contributing to congestion. These decisions seem to contradict basic transportation planning principles and common sense.
