Unlike Vancouver, Toronto and most other real cities wont have to remove key traffic lanes. Indeed, unlike the Vancouver approach, most cities are able to construct bike lanes & bike bridges without having to reduce lanes for traffic. Of course in some cases its inevitable, but the Vancouver approach seems to be about creating more congestion. Just like having the first 2 Skytrain lines with only 80m stations, when the the Montreal Metro has 152m long stations. The 3rd line that goes to Richmond & the airport, only has a provision for 50m stations. Its another fine example of how Greater Vancouver refuses to properly plan for higher future capacity.
The later half of the 20th century put an emphasis on personal cars, highways & freeways. Even the widest expressways will eventually get clogged up at times. So unless there is a comprehensive system of human powered vehicles, electric bikes as well as cars & buses & especially trams & trains, its gridlock.
Some see a future without any need or reason to have a personal motorized vehicle (PMV). However, that seems to be an extreme approach. A PMV just might not be as necessary with more affordable rental vehicles available.
