The worst traffic. The highest taxes (as a country), we have spent more in 8 years than ever before, the highest housing prices, the worst regulatory system (also with the highest price), the highest inflation, the highest cost of living, the lowest rate of wage increases.. man Sid, your boy JT is killing it.

Toronto was fine in the seventies, drive anywhere, loads of free parking...the population grew,the city itself grew, and in all that time the roads were ignored, city is still growing, and the problem gets worse every year, and still nothing gets done.

Older parts of the city simply aren't designed for bikes. A bike lane should never share the road with cars unless there's some sort of barrier or even a curb separating bikes and cars. Bikers. Why would you want to drive right next to big metal vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds? Can kill you in a second. Sure it's not your choice. So don't get mad when cars block you or come close. Because it isn't drivers fault either.

I have been to London and Dublin and have lived in Toronto for many years. The issue with traffic in London and Dublin is that the streets are narrow but also not straight line, lots of turning. Also, the lights are not synchronized in London and Dublin. In Dublin, not many highways especially in and out of downtown core. In Toronto, we have the Gardiner and DVP but those cities dont have direct highways in and out of the city.

That’s what happens when you build condos everywhere. Need more sewage capacity, upgraded water mains, more electricity, telephone, internet cables etc. All that infrastructure has to be increased to meet all the population growth that people keep voting for. So they tear up all the roads and pass the costs onto the taxpayer…

World class city with world class problems that they were never prepared for . I came back to Ontario in 2016 then again 3 years later and it was worse each time. I haven't driven downtown in many years . 401 QEW 403 400 at one time the weekend traffic was barrible now heading to Niagara better pack a lunch , heading north even the other roads are jammed 27 north Hwy 11 . I lived by the 401 around 10 pm at night the hwy became quiet , now there is a constant hum well past 10pm to early morning hours .

Thank god for my entire working career I lived and worked in Mississauga. When the company merged, more like shoe-horned three warehouses into one big building in 2016 it was even closer at Hurontario & 401. I live close to Mississauga & 401 (Meadowvale North) 15 mins (no freeway) drive on a good day. Maybe an 1 hour drive home on a bad snow day. I also worked the early 6 am shift so traffic was always light on the main roads. I would never work or live in Toronto.

I started my career in the 2010s well before Covid would change Ontario and much of the rest of the world for years, if not decades, to come. During that first decade of my career, working, mostly from home was something I had gotten to do from 2013. Following the ends in March 2020 of two part-time away-from-home jobs, I have worked mostly from home but remain open to working away from home if the job makes financial sense. As so many jobs out there, do not adequately take into account the cost of using Uber or Lyft, it is likely that if I do happen to find an away-from-home job, it’s likely to be close to public transit.

Extend Allen Road down to Spadina using tunnels. The city does not have enough infrastructure to handle the traffic coming into the city. Toronto is a commuter city. One example is the business district. At night the population is 20,000, during the day it is over 250k. Over a million people commute into the city daily. Make Black Creek and Weston roads expressways into the city.

Despite the pandemic, downtown Toronto’s population still grew by 16 per cent, so that was seventh-fastest in Canada. So did the pandemic slow population growth within the city? Yes. Was that slowdown equal across the area? Not necessarily.” Downtown Toronto remains the most populous downtown in all of Canada with approximately 275,000 residents and is the second-highest densely populated downtown in the country (around 16,000 people per square kilometre, and for comparison the borough of Manhattan has around 22,000 people per square kilometre You can read more about this if you Google search Population of Downtown Toronto, CityNews

The problem is that this issue effects so many people that not everyone can afford or has the means to make drastic changes. E.g. we can't all start to work from home. It would be great but it's not possible. There needs to balance & we're failing at achieving that.

I love drivers complaining about ‘traffic’. Folks: you are the traffic. COVID reduced the transit ridership & ppl got in their cars. But, transit is so packed and unsafe that folks who did not drive to work, started getting in their cars. So, improve transit and make it safer! Start building a downtown subway line. FINISH the LRT (Metrolinx). When, I biked to work, I got to work faster than those who took TTC and those who drove. Those in cars are more stressed and hate the commute; bikes are not the problem. Our reliance on cars in major cities is part of the problem. Terrible transit is part of the problem.

Let me save you 5 minutes so you don't have to listen to Sid's brain dead opinions about bikes. Greater Tokyo Area does not have wider lanes than the Greater Toronto Area. What they do have is a much expansive rail network. Most street parking is not allowed, and to be able to purchase a car, one must provide proof of parking space (Shako Shomei). As a result they can move a population of 40 million people much more efficiently than we can with our 7 million people. The difference between us and them is that they realized almost a century ago that there are better things than cars! While we keep importing their cars, they keep using that money to build more trains! Take the train Sid, it's better for your health, instead of losing your mind over bike lanes!
