Expressways Destructive Says Transportation Expert
A Toronto engineer told the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities convention that expressways are not a transit alternative but a road system expansion. Robert Smith said expressways have split neighborhoods and will require more hard decisions as cities pursue mobility. He argued downtown parking costs limit car use and that transit subsidies mainly aid higher income groups while lower ones rely on cars. He cited dial-a-bus, GO trains, and a $2 million GO subsidy as examples of current transit dynamics.
