Road design, transportation and walkability

[danbrotherston]

No "they" here.  I'm one person, singular.  A bit of a spin wouldn't you say.  You're intentionally taking MTO out of the context in which I was using them.  But, since you mentioned it, tell me what city is where it is as a result of the 401 being built?

I think that is intended to be singular “they”.

And to answer your question, how many people would live in Pickering without the 401?

Yes, I was using singular they, I'm not going to assume anyone's pronouns...no spin intended...

And yes, the 401 and it's subsequent widenings is the biggest single contributor to congestion and sprawl in Toronto. Possibly lots of people would live in Pickering without the 401, but they would either live near a train station, or they would work in Pickering, they would not spend nearly 20% of their waking life dumping tons of carbon and soot into the air, while creating a less pleasant place for everyone else to live while commuting to work.
