From the Paper:

"Toronto is, as of this moment, a rapidly-growing urban center - and that means more vehicles, more traffic congestion, and, ultimately, more pollution. To give an idea of the growth in Canada's largest city, consider this: between the 1996 and 2001 censuses, the population of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) grew by more than 450,000 people; the population of the city of Toronto alone grew by more than 96,000 people (Toronto Urban Development Services Department, 2003). Understandably, the pressure that sort of growth places upon the local infrastructure is enormous: as more and more vehicles, commuters and cargo flood into Toronto (and out of Toronto, too), local bridges, highways and roads (like the Gardiner Expressway) which were built in the 1960s and 1970s find themselves increasingly overwhelmed by the traffic realities of the new millennium.
