Does Eglinton E reveal car-pooling is a flop?

Berardinetti

Do high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes merely create congestion? That’s the view of Michelle Berardinetti (Ward 35). Her sense of traffic on Eglinton Ave. E. is that very few cars can qualify to run in the HOV lanes. Therefore, says the Scarborough Southwest member of council, she wants the lanes eliminated. Berardinetti represents the south side of Eglinton.  The lanes were created to encourage car-pooling but has it? “We don’t see any studies produced to say that that works,” she said. “I want to see a report to see if it works. We do many things in the city to improve gridlock, but this is more detrimental.”
