Spending on road infrastructure needs to be done. London has a huge backlog of roads that are pot-holed, bottle-necked and well overcapacity. Many of these projected need to be done ASAP, but are being staggered throughout the decade. Spending on infrastructure, especially during times of recession, is always a good investment short and long term.

Wellington is slatted to be 6-laned from the 401 to baseline by ~2018, though if it went further north would be even better! Richmond's suppose to be 6-laned from Fanshawe Park to Windemere. The areas that really need it, like from Oxford to Windemere, aren't on the table since it would require contentious expropriations.

Ultimately the money spent from these projects will benefit both cars and buses. More lanes, bus bays, channelized turn lanes will help traffic flow better and help public transit.

BTW great to hear Fontana support a ring road! If they can get VMP done sometime before the next 62 years pass, they can start on the next portions by the turn of the century...
