City Gridlock

Some friends say not to get me started on the topic of traffic. On the contrary, I think it is a big issue that everyone who lives in the GTA should bring voice to. Is it possible that "Rush Hour" has now etended itself from 3:00 p.m. to about 7:00 p.m.? I feel that the city has made a mistake in allowing for thousands of houses to be built before widening our roads. Wouldn't it make sense to expand roads before building homes where thousands of families are expected to move? Clearly, the city did not think so and has created is a city gridlock. Many newpaper articles talk about the financial problems in ammending this gridlock, stating that funding is always short-term and politically based. Others say that if nothing is done soon about the expanding of roads, Toronto's gridlock will increase dramatically in the next few years. What are others thoghts on this issue?
