For example, he talks about a "6 lane arterial road coming from Gatineau" which I assume is the Portage bridge, but it doesn't terminate in LeBreton. You have use the SJAM parkway, which I assume is his "6 lane arterial road leading from downtown." Which means he is counting it twice. That is just one example.
"4 lane freeway from the west" SJAM Parkway (seems to have capacity for 6 lanes through Lebreton)
"6 lane arterial road leading from downtown" Wellington
"6 lane arterial road coming from Gatineau" Maisonneuve/Portage Bridge
"2-4 lane arterial road coming from gatineau"
"4 lane arterial road coming from downtown" - Albert

There are also several collector roads coming from the South.

I understand the strategy is that if you threaten to drive the city will get so scared that they will make someone else pay for your transit. It's not a bad strategy, but I think the city should call your bluff. If you want to drive and pay a huge premium for parking then drive, but your experience would be a lot better if you payed the $7 for transit.
