With the GTA growing at a rate of 100,000 people per year, adding some 2 million residents over the next 20 years, even if transit ridership explodes there will still be a need to expand highways. Keep in mind that as the 412 is going to be tolled, it will be largely protected from the laws of induced demand.
The 412 also enhances the value of Highway 407 by finally giving it a seamless connection to the 401 in the east, thus it will help traffic bypass Toronto.
