How do we know this? Bus traps exist. There are ways to prevent regular traffic from using roads, either through design or through enforcement. Maybe there are also legal mechanisms that could be put in place to ensure the restricted use of transit and emergency vehicles. I agree about preserving these natural areas and that there may be alternatives to locating transit and emergency roads to other areas, but assuming that this is a conspiracy to build new regular traffic roads may be a little over the top.

"The bridge will only be for emergency vehicles and transit".. thereby making anyone who opposes it look like an inconsiderate ass. We all know that eventually it would be for vehicle traffic as well. Emergency vehicles and transit are also very loud, destroying the peace and quiet that the park provides.
A city is not made more "livable" by damaging some of the few natural areas that have avoided the sprawl that has come with each new wave of development in the city.
