Don't you know the city's song?

Just to clarify, I am a supporter of the widening, but I do understand the various reasons why it didn't go through. Citing the climate emergency to me seems like a sneaky way of dismissing it. The years of construction and cost overruns seems to be the main driver in my mind.
Council did pass a motion to look at other ways to improve Wonderland and while not as transformative as 6 laning, are cheaper and more realistic. I support this too.
Wonderland widening may be a major topic come the next election cycle so check your council candidate's stance on this and other transportation infrastructure projects. London's growing out and up at the same time and we're doomed to choke if improvements aren't made. I'm still hopeful Wonderland widening will be revisited, (along with the 2 cancelled BRT routes and other projects).
