I'm starting a year long course where I have 1.25 hr Transit commute each way. At no point did we consider a second car. So I'm probably not the type of person to be swayed with this.
But also, as I wrote to Harley, I'm not convinced that building a bypass 20+ km from downtown will really reduce the traffic that is annoying him. I'm not convinced that even another 300-500k will change that math because the city is not proposing to put the growth anywhere near this fantasy route.
You know what would help Harley? A functional transit system so that tens of thousands of people who used to take transit go back to it. Or building more bridges to Gatineau so that traffic isn't traversing large portions of the city just to get to a bridge.
