Andrew Mayer was supposed to run in Sunday ’s Toronto Waterfront Marathon but didn’t make it to the starting line due to traffic.

Mayer wondered by there wasn't better planning around road closures.

Toronto 's road closures, congestion and traffic problems are becoming legendary.

Annual cost of congestion to our economy is estimated at $11 billion .

It means ending the constant expansion of bike lanes into already congested streets, and it means having someone at City Hall responsible for construction planning so that all arteries in a given area are n’t ripped up at the same time. Serious problems require serious solutions. Time to get to work. [email protected].
