To hear some of council (and many suburbanites) talking, it's practically a foregone conclusion that the expressways will be widened, and the sooner the better. It's true that they were designed to accommodate easy expansion, but that says nothing of the cost of it. Can we afford it?

I just realized the RHVP opened exactly eight years ago. And it's already "gridlock"? Maybe it's because the expressway enabled the sprawl that will inevitably lead to increased traffic.
