Everyone fears that the cars will go crazy because they won't be able to get into the city quickly," Mr. Vaughan (Trinity Spadina) said yesterday. "The reality is, if you go down there at rush hour, there are no cars on Adelaide whatsoever, so you've got this massive wide street in the downtown that nobody is using. And then when you go to Richmond Street, there are flocks of 20 cars at a time every five minutes but in between ... you can't see a car for 30 or 40 blocks in either direction."

This is consistent with the Cordon Count and the opinion of Dr. Enid Slack whom said ....
"Let me be clear that I am not recommending a congestion charge along the lines used in London, England. Unlike London, the congestion problem in Toronto is not in the downtown core; the congestion problem in Toronto is on the highways. These tolls should be levied by the Greater Toronto Transportation Authority (GTTA) because it is the regional roads and not the local roads that are congested."
