There certainly are cases where highway expansion is necessary but government needs to take the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to new highway projects with community participation - something we believe the Liberal government has failed to do. Historically, we have raised concern about planned highway expansions that threaten the Greenbelt, such as the Bradford by-pass, the GTA West highway to Guelph, and the Mid-Peninsula highway. We will continue to raise those concerns in the future.
The Ontario NDP's first priority for reducing congestion is to make transit accessible and a better option for Ontarians. We also believe we can make much more efficient use of highways - for example, by speeding up the implementation of high-occupancy vehicle lanes. |
