Will a new crossing solve our traffic issues?

The province has started consultations with the public on a plan to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Options mentioned to date range from refurbishing and expanding the 53-year-old tube to building a bridge.

The province has started consultations with the public on a plan to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Options mentioned to date range from refurbishing and expanding the 53-year-old tube to building a bridge. It remains to be seen whether a new crossing will provide a complete solution to traffic woes. The Optimist asked:

CARL D'AMICO

In that area, yes, if it's big enough and wide enough.

PAT YOUNG

No. Unless we go back to what our ancestors used to do and that was use light rail transit, we are not going to solve our problems. We also have to get people out of their cars to use this transit system.

ELMAR SCHULTES

My opinion is nothing's going to happen for a long time.

REBA WILLIS

In about 20 years, I guess, the way things move so quickly.

LAURIE PRAK

An extra crossing will, not a new one.
