More density, less sprawl, more mixed use zoning, better and safer infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, more priority for transit all throughout the city, especially in the core.

All of these would do wonders, and have been proven over and over again to do what you're asking for.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost, the air & noise pollution, the huge space difference, etc… @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

A huge and passionate crowd gathered at Queen's Park to let Doug Ford know that bicycle infrastructure saves lives and is a key part of *actually* addressing traffic congestion. More people biking = less people driving. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli
