The Greater Toronto Area has become endless sprawl, almost no public transit is being built. We should of had a subway from Huronatioro in Brampton to Markham rd in Scarborough 30 years ago.
The Ontario Line, being built, is a joke and doesn't even cover a fraction of the sprawl that has been created.

By putting many of the factories in the middle of nowhere, with little public transit, politicians ruined much of the Greater Toronto Area.

Don't forget Ontario's negligence for allowing new builds in the GTA while it's layout was already flawed.

Brampton is literally hell on Earth for pedestrians or cyclists. I forgot how ridiculous streets like Dixie and Bovaird are with their four lanes on each side no foliage terrible drivers and constant vehicle traffic.

They made KW seen positively tranquil in comparison and KW loves to argue about bike lanes.

A survey of area residents conducted by Wards 3 and 4 Couns. Dennis Keenan and Martin Medeiros found that 58 per cent of respondents drive on Charolais daily, with 83 per cent of respondents opposing the bike lanes.

So at least 29% of respondents oppose the bike lane on Charolais, despite not driving on Charolais.

Regardless, what are the odds that removing these bike lanes solve traffic?
