I grew up in this part of the city, and one of the things that's overlooked is how many more cars are on the roads today than there were 30 years ago, even in neighbourhoods with no new housing units. When I was a kid, each household had 1, sometimes 2 cars. Now, with adult kids living at home and having their own cars, there are often 2-3 cars per household. With the Tsuu T'ina on one side, and Glenmore reservoir on another, you end up with bad traffic congestion.
Of course, the best way to deal with congestion is to increase public transport capacity and make it more convenient to use. But these grumpy old farts just want to turn the clock back to 1991.
