The ring road is not simply a commuter time saver as they are painting it to be, as Ken said it is a key component to transportation in the province.

According to the City's GM of Transportation, this portion of the RR will be for commuting as opposed to truck traffic moving goods and services. As such, it would be in the City's domain rather than the Province's. The $5B should be given to the City for it to decide how it can be most effectively and efficiently used to meet the demands on its list of transportation priorities.
