"Why is Toronto traffic so terrible?" wonders man in car

They're probably in those cars today wondering why there's so much traffic.

I always find it funny when they use European cities like Oulu, Finland, that has a population of 250,000 compared to Toronto which has almost 3 million.
You know when city councilors take those trips abroad to "study" what other cities are doing? Then come back and try to shoehorn the same ideas here to justify the expense of travelling on our dime?

I think it's interesting when they show Oulu's bike lanes are independent from vehicle roads. i.e. separate paths,
Unlike in Toronto where they are crammed in with cars and transit vehicles on roads that were never designed for bike lanes.

I bet those cities didn't shoehorn 1000 skyscrapers in a 20 year period either without any real infrastructure either.

Yes.
Those skyscrapers generate more property tax revenue than roads & infrastructure do. Gives them more money to spend on important things like renaming parks and building bike lanes.
