Letter: A big bridge is best

Dear Editor, As much as I don’t want to pay tolls, I tire of structuring my travels to avoid the Massey Tunnel between 2 and 7 p.m. It’s simply too chaotic and stressful during those five hours.

Dear Editor,

As much as I don’t want to pay tolls, I tire of structuring my travels to avoid the Massey Tunnel between 2 and 7 p.m. 

It’s simply too chaotic and stressful during those five hours. We also have a nasty habit of building bridges too small. They are full as soon as they are built. Building six lanes for cars now is the correct solution. Two lanes will be transit and two lanes will be full of trucks.

The hyperbole of calling it 10 lanes is misleading. It’ll be nice to have a bridge we can rely on.
