Re. Letters:Tuesday’s snowstorm proved why a tunnel is better than bridge
I am not sure where Mr Stewart was Tuesday but he was not sitting in Richmond traffic waiting for the tunnel to open up.
I left the Richmond Ice Centre at 8:50 pm, made it three car lengths and then sat in traffic until the tunnel reopened at 1a.m.
I was through at 1:25 a.m. and back in Tsawwassen by 1:40 a.m. Almost five hours due to the tunnel being closed. It did not fair any better than the bridges. We needed the 10 lane bridge that would be open by now not the antiquated tube that funnels up to six lanes of traffic into one lane during rush hour.
The government needs to wise up as currently we are not going to see any change for eight more years.
