This thing has been planned for 30+ years I think they have done enough the studies. It has received multiply environmental assessment and traffic studies over the decades. It this not enough? should it be stalled another decade to be debated and studied again?

They have no doubt done traffic studies, and environmental studies, but I guarantee you that in 30 years they have done zero business cases, nor compared this project with a single alternative that wasn't a similar road project, and with 100% certainty this project has never been evaluated from a GHG perpsective. It's a systemic issue, in our government, transit projects must prove a business case, and be compared with other projects, road projects do not. The MTO doesn't have to justify anything beyond "traffic".

We are talking about the provincial government here, not either regional government. This is the same province which is failing to invest in the only transit option between the cities right now.
