any 6 lane widening I think should have the curbside lane be bus only during peak periods. We need to get better transit connections and scheduling to make it more efficient than taking the bus.
For example, 6 years ago, I took the #17 bus from Oakridge across Oxford Street to Fanshawe for schooling. Every day, it would take 40-60 minutes to do so, while in a vehicle, even at rush hour, you could probably do the trip in 35 minutes or so. Having a bus take 35% more time than a car makes it really difficult to take transit.
with regard to the ring road - I absolutely support this.
