'Add lanes above or below Highway 401 to ease gridlock, board of trade urges'

wow.

I was going to make a snarky comment about “… or spend less than that on better transit to more effect” but then I saw they’re talking about that 5km section from Renforth Drive to the Airport expressway where the collector lanes disappear. I’m not convinced that a fantastically expensive second deck is worthwhile, but it is strange having that narrow section in the highway so it’s at least potentially worth investigating.
