Are all these people are going to give up their cars and use public transit?Many streets including Carling Avenue and Preston Street are going to be overwhelmed if a health care facility is built on Agriculture Canada land and a "wall of condos" are constructed along Carling.
I have lived near Carling Avenue for years and the noise from traffic does not bother me. Who are the puppet masters who control this city? What kind of legacy are we leaving for our descendants? I visited Greece 40 years ago and the smog was so bad it was affecting the Acropolis and other landmarks. The following traffic study is from the year 2002:
