I know all the active transportation supporters will criticize me but, really, how is 2 lanes for vehicles gonna work for a large city's core.

London added a couple of Million people since the 1990s and pretty sure they managed to halve the number of car lanes across the Thames in the core. We still have ways to go to catch up!
Car-brained provincial governments are not making it easy though.
