Not widening it doesn't help traffic on Wonderland or the very few alternate routes either. If widening the road causes induced demand, isn't the opposite "reduced demand"? People don't say "Oh fuck it, Wonderland is busy, I'm not leaving my house". I don't see how gridlock on Wonderland and people detouring through Byron or Wharncliffe Rd is better for the environment either. It's the only direct route on the west side of the city that goes from farm country to farm country. The city is rapidly growing on the west side and Wonderland needs to grow as well.
