What's always been crazy to me about this project is that this $200M project was going to be one of the largest infrastructure projects in the city's history. Not building a network of bus lanes or bike paths. Not beautification of half of downtown streets (as was done on Dundas). Nope. A single 8 km road widening project was going to be the signature infrastructure project of the decade. And this was not stopped because people's attitudes have changed and they understood how insane spending $200+M on a single road widening project for a city of 400k, is. Nope, it was stopped because of supposed concerns over climate change. So 10-15 years from now, when car sales are all electric, this shitty idea will be back on the menu, at an even higher price tag.
