Dear Editor,
Re: “Council wants new, improved tunnel,” News, Jan. 20.
I may be out in left field but my gut tells me the discussion about the replacement bridge has nothing to do with road traffic and the pushing of bottlenecks elsewhere on Highway 99. Rather, it’s about increased shipping involving larger ships that cannot navigate over the existing George Massey Tunnel due to their deeper draft requirements.
As a footnote, I wish the mayor and council were as riled up about the stench put out by their partners at Harvest Power as they are about this bridge issue!
