As a half-century member of the elite Tsawwassen Residence Club, I would like to share my measly two bits.
I am not a big fan of Malcolm Johnston’s take on rail transit vs expanding the SkyTrain system, but I wholeheartedly agree with him on adding another Fraser River crossing north of Tilbury from Highway 17 heading due north, connecting with the East-West Connector and heading over the north arm of the Fraser River to Boundary Road.
It could be elevated through the Richmond agricultural area and the existing tunnel left alone. This could be done at minimal disruption to the existing highway system and save millions in road relocation for construction.
It could also be done in two phases: south of the East-West Connector and north of it.
This option would by far do the most to spread out the traffic and give more options heading across the Fraser. Let’s get our heads out of the sand and grasp that progress will never stop.
