Want One Port Mann Bridge, or a Light Rail Metropolis?

March 25, 2009

The B.C. government intends to spend $3.1 billion rebuilding and expanding the Port Mann Bridge and connecting Highway 1 routes. Sustainable design researchers at U.B.C. found that for the same cost, the government could finance a light rail system providing connection to residents in Surrey, White Rock, Langley, and Delta. The proposed rail system would connect rapidly developing communities in the South Fraser region, and drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Read more about this light rail system at The Tyee.
