While Toronto does have a lot of traffic, and certainly the suburbs are entirely car-centric... Toronto is ridiculously cold, snowy and icy in winter. Reducing cars on Yonge St (for example) wouldn't make winter go away.

I see you havent been to Winnipeg, montreal, calgary, ottawa etc...

Just because others have it worse does not mean things are not bad.

Other than during particular cold snaps or storms, Toronto is VERY far from "ridiculously cold, snowy and icy". Perhaps it's ridículosus compared to the tropics, but it's tepid compared to most of canada and much of Europe/Asia.

Winnipeg, Montreal and Calgary also have pedestrian tunnel networks, as do Edmonton and Halifax, for the same reason as Toronto -- terrible winters.

Perhaps Ottawa should get one?

My point was that Toronto's winters are not ridiculous, by any reasonable (Canada, Europe, etc) measure. Those cities have it vastly worse.

I forgot about Halifax's, and I lived there for a while long ago!
