Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he wants to build a tunnel for cars and transit under Highway 401 that would stretch roughly from Brampton to Scarborough.

Citing increasing gridlock and little room for highway expansion at a news conference Wednesday morning, Ford says his government will begin studying the technical feasibility of building a tunnel stretching across the GTA under the country’s busiest highway.

“This tunnel and expressway will cut gridlock, support economic growth and help get people moving faster,” Ford said.

        You’re correct, but that’s not really the point of the origin question. Yes they always could, but why are they doing it now? Why this uptick in meddling?
