Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow expands traffic agent program to 100 agents, aiming to cut congestion.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow plans to expand the city's traffic agent program, increasing the number of agents to 100 and spending $3 million to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. The program has seen success in the downtown core, with traffic agents preventing 96% of vehicles from blocking intersections and reducing travel times by 33%. However, some critics argue that it is a "Band-Aid solution" and that more needs to be done to coordinate construction projects and road occupancy permits.
