Connexions Calendar

Sprawl Brawl (Round Two) Transit vs. Highways


February 18, 2016


We all know that traffic jams in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area are a pain. Gridlock hurts the economy, increases carbon emissions and damages residents' health.

Join us for an evening of lively discussion about what's the best use of transportation dollars to relieve traffic congestion in the GTHA? How do pending provincial decisions about the shape and growth of our cities impact what is possible for public transit?

Refereed by award-winning journalist and author John Lorinc, the evening will feature a panel of esteemed experts sharing their views for how we can reduce traffic congestion through better transportation planning. Learn about a risky plan for a new mega-highway. Find out why public transit should be prioritized within existing urban areas - not far flung sprawl subdivisions.

Let's get ready to rumble!
