Bridgeport Road East near Weber carries 16,500 cars a day according to the Region’s traffic counts. Erb Street just west of Weber carries just shy of 17,000; just east of Weber, less than 11,000.

These are absurdly low volumes to afford three lanes one-way. One lane each way with a centre turning lane would accommodate these volumes with free-flowing traffic nearly all of the time.


Why not two lanes?
