it seems people south of the port mann bridge are having an identity crisis.
greater surrey or greater vancouver?  who are you?

people fraser valley, hear it from burnaby mayor derek corrigan:

Burnaby has already done its part to speed commuters across the region and it will draw the line at the proposed Port Mann Bridge twinning and freeway expansion.  The rest of the region should reflect on the sacrifices Burnaby has already made.

Over the years the city agreed to widen the Barnett Highway, take parking off Hastings Street for an HOV/bus lane, widen Highway 1 to create HOV lanes, and develop the Marine Way connector to speed traffic further south. On top of all that millions of vehicles now flow down Kingsway, the Lougheed Highway and Canada Way.

We have done our duty in trying to find solutions to traffic flowing through Burnaby.  There has to be a point where we say enough is enough. There’s no way the city of Burnaby should find itself bisected and dissected by highways in order to achieve growth in the Fraser Valley.

>>> choose to live in greater surrey and face the consequences, don't continue to compromise greater vancouver's livelihood.  the suburban-resortesque highway lifestyle people fraser valley choose to live is more affordable for a reason.
