TUNNEL VISION

Doug Ford is going to unparalleled extremes. If the dream tunnel is made, how in the world are commuters going to exit? All the major north-south secondary roads are jammed. The volume coming off Hwys. 401, 407 and 404 is already atrocious. Add in a car crash and the tunnel will stagnate. The stupefying amount of vertical living and work towers are enough to contest the Toronto city core alone. These vertical dwellers leave en masse daily, either into or out of these skyscrapers. I’ve always said, why didn’t the provincial government at the time of slapping the 407 into existence add an LRT line alongside? The land was already expropriated. A rail line would take up far less land and if it were electrified, there would be reduced pollution.
