The Editor, Re: "Tunnel to be replaced by bridge," Online, Sept. 20.
The only reason for the building of a bridge over the Fraser River to replace the Massey Tunnel is not to alleviate traffic congestion, but to allow oil tankers to ply the Fraser River and access the new oil pipeline terminal the government is obviously keeping secret from us.
And as for Premier Christy Clark's statement that she does not know whether the cost of the bridge will be passed onto the public in the form of tolls or not, well all I can say is open your wallet again.
And why not keep the tunnel and use it for rapid transit? That would make sense. Doug Massey, I will sign your petition.
