That, of course, doesn't mean that the project should not have happened. But it does mean that I don't buy "green line will take thousands of cars off the road" as an excuse to support Woolley's grandstanding. Especially since he *also* wants to pause the green line. He's being duplicitous here.

Not disputing but surprised about that and I'd like to see numbers. I take it every day and it's full. I'm sure some were bus riders before, but the parkade is jammed.
Of course, population growth does have an impact. Even if the number of cars is the same as 6 years ago, the pop growth means that traffic should have grown. If it didn't surely LRT has a role in limiting the growth.
